- The Mill Brook Railroad has unexpectedly become curator of an historic collection. With a handshake, we've become the owners of the Ossipee Central Railway. One of this country's oldest private 7-1/4" gauge railways, the OCR comes from the estate of Dwight Winkley and dates back to the late 1950's. It features about 1000 feet of track, seven cars, two locomotives, a turntable lift, an engine house with steaming bays, an air compressor, five drums of steam coal, and other supporting items. We have until the first of July, 2024 to move the entire railway 86 miles from Ossipee, NH to Windsor, VT.
