First, I would like to obnoxiously brag that way back when someone made a thread about transport called something along the lines of "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles." I said. Trains? Hell yes! I don't see why not. YAY me! [continues boasting]

Weeeel. Here's the thing. It definitely looks like a very narrow gauge track. But trains have run on narrow gauges, even very narrow gauges-- mostly in mountainous and inaccessible regions where it was easier to fit narrow tracks or quicker to build or something.
Sure, those could be tracks for simple, cheap, ass-drawn mining carts. It could also be a steam railway, a horse-drawn railway, or even a gravity railway*.
Personally, I think any of those would be cool. And it doesn't look like horse-drawn to me, because I would think that if it were there would be railings or something on the roadbed the tracks are on.
And to me, at least, the building with the raised platform looks more like a small passenger train station than anything else.
*Not really a railway. Originally used to move around mining carts cheaply and easily (just let them roll downhill and then use that momentum to go up) they later ended up manifesting as a forerunner of today's roller coasters.
^ beat me too it ><
