The SJR&P is a railroad in the garden rather than an outdoor model of a railroad. As such there are few structures. The garden and railroad are built to harmonize with each other. The highlights of the SJR&P are its bridges, rock gardens and lily ponds. Unlike an indoor layout where the scenery must be created, our bridges, tunnels and grades of the SJR&P function to mold the railroad into the hillsides. The railroad serves an area rich in coal, oil and hardwoods. Trains move the raw materials to the standard gauge interchange and supplies to the various towns and industries served by the railroad.
