I think we had one here to haul sugar cane to one of the factories.  there is still 24" guage rail in the grond in a few places and we can see the line of the rail by the concrete utility poles that still stand where the rail line was.

No, I don't imagine you're going to be able to find any archaeological
examples (not sure how they might enter the archaeological record in the
first place, unless buried deliberately or thrown in the trash), but
comparative material should be available.

Thanks for the tip.  I've also run across state/municipal transportation
libraries that have gems of information, but sadly no archaeological
corollaries.
