Only one Famous Shortline in the US?

The V&T Project Coordinator (Commission, not VTRR) tells a story that a German came to ride the V&T and said he was riding the top ten shortlines in the world. In the article and at meetings, he quotes the German as saying the V&T is the only short-line railroad worth riding in the top ten category.

It's in this article:
[www.nevadaappeal.com]

(Kevin) Ray said one passenger from Germany told him the V&T was number eight of the top 10 short-line railroads he wanted to ride, and the only one in the U.S.

I questioned the idea Kevin promotes that the V&T is the only shortline worth riding in the US. He came back and said, "Also, I distiguish that the V&T is in the Top 10 of the most Famous Shortlines in the world..

Gee, uhhh, I guess the Durango and Silverton isn't famous enough. I asked him for the top ten list and he hasn't responded. I wonder if you all would make suggestions as to your favorite famous shortlines, US or world-wide.

Since we're talking shortlines, I don't know if Copper Canyon qualifies ;>)

Thanks
