Alrighty railfans, poll time. Tell us your favorite narrow gauge railroad, and why that railroad should be regarded the best narrow gauge in the world, or your country/ state at least.

My favourite are picturesque Harz Narrow Gauge Railways.
Longest single network of narrow gauge railway in Germany, with a total length of 140.4 km (87 miles), 44 stations and halts. Its trains run daily to a timetable and it operates more than ten steam locomotives, seven diesel railbuses and three trams.
The most famous part is Brocken Railway wich
runs the highest mountain of the Harz at 1,141 m (3,743 ft)

Definitely JHMD in the Czech Republic. I have a lot of good memories of riding the trains and chilling in the woods.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. I'm not a narrow-gauge fan but the WP&Y in Canada/USA should be ranked high. Why?
-Engineering.
>see Kicking Horse gulch trestles
-Introduced the concept of container cars.
-Spectacular scenery.
-Weird diesels.
-still operating (at least for tourists).

Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railroads, Poland.
Only remains of it exist to this day ( still in use) due to mismanagement, but until early nineties it was biggest narrow gauge network in Europe AFAIK, with a great commercial potential, both as an everyday mode of transportation an and a tourist attraction.
Those responsible of its collapse should be shot in front of their families.
