  Heritage railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heritage railways are usually railway lines which were once run as commercial railways, but were later no longer needed, or were closed down, and were taken over or re-opened by volunteers or for-profit organizations.
Typically a heritage railway will use steam locomotives and old-fashioned rolling stock to create a "period atmosphere", although some are now concentrating on more recent "modern image" diesel and electric traction to re-create the post-steam railway era.
Heritage streetcar systems currently operating in Little Rock, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana, Philadelphia, PA and Tampa, Florida are among the larger; a heritage line was recently completed in Charlotte, North Carolina and will become an integral part of the city's new transit system.
