This one was man made and lasted 23 years before Mother Nature in her wrath damaged it in The Storm of The Century.

Read the clue carefully. "...still provides regular steam-powered service today."

The day before Independence Day in 1869 marked the inauguration of a railroad that still provides regular steam-powered service today.
this should be the Mount Washington Cog Railway . Interestingly I found the railway and the the date on the German Wikipedia site and found the date not mentioned on the English Wikipedia site...
...seems to me that I will have to visit the East Coast also at some time, since until now I thought I was only bound to the W/Best Coast...
GreetingZ, HilZen,
Uwe

You beat me to the punch. I was going to kid Fred since he posted a picture of the Mt. Washington Cog engine recently.
Nice work.

You'd be surprised the amount of rail history on the East Coast of the US. I am originally from the area of the US where the first steam engine operated and home of the oldest operating railroad in the US granted now completely owned by CP Rail. The Delaware and Hudson is oldest railroad in the USA. Also in Scranton is Steamtown NHS where there is an active steam excursion program and operating shortline, the Delaware Lackawanna. You can travel down to Baltimore to the B&O museum and also to Union station in Washington DC. That's just a taste of rail history in the Eastern US.
