It's definitely happened in the U.S.
N&W 1218 in Erie PA
UP 844
On a smaller scale, the Durango and Silverton upon arrival in Silverton
I love watching those videos as well

Don't forget, this is a daily operation, not just a once in a while excursion. They also haul regular paying passengers.
I remember riding that train in 2000. We made stops to pick up and drop off passengers. Once they get off the street and onto private right of way, they really boogie! So much for narrow gauge being perceived as slow...

The bell on that German engine is a real attention-getter... but the Silverton's exhaust is almost as loud!

Thanks for the clarifications. Must have been a lot of fun.
