Electropickel has a YouTube video about a 2-foot backyard railway, with two trolley cars. I cannot find any information on a Google search regarding the location of the story of this little railroad..Apparently, a portion uses live overhead. Does anyone have any information on this?

I'm guessing this is it:

This rings a bell on an old article in Traction & Models mag years ago. A very similar set-up where the owner had a trolley locomotive and a flatcar carrying bins for clearing leaves from the yard. Good raison d'etre for the layout!
I thank everyone for answering. I had already seen the video, but there was no information about the people that built it, the location, or further details about where it is today. That is what I searched for on the internet to no avail.
Looks like great FUN! ☺

Pretty sure that is owned by Bob Olson. Lives just south of South Bend. His layouts were on the LOTS convention tour back around 2008. He also has a great O scale NYC trolley layout in his basement. Very interesting and nice guy. I've seen him at the trolley meet in Indianapolis.
My search couldn't find it because "Electropickle" was misspelled in the original post. Fortunately, it was in the video - much easier to find it using the correct name.
