In Northern Estonia, 150km east of Tallinn, there is a closed mine, which now acts as a mine museum. This includes a train, the "express". Homepage: http://kaevanduspark.ee/
It runs on 250VAC from an overhead wire. The express consist of an electric engine and some small cars. Besides that there are a range of tippers and flatbeds for carrying supports and other equipment. There is a total lenght of tunnels of 70 km, I dont know how much railway is left.
