Great to see it was rebuilt.
It’s when a section is destroyed then abandoned that’s depressing.
It’s like an epidemic here in my area.
You can’t go for a walk in the woods without stumbling over abandoned RR tracks. Really depressing.

Down there the area is pretty active as far as rails go.

Why is it called a “dummy” engine? Or is that a question for a railroad dummy?

Horses were used to pull streetcars, and also for general transportation. The replacement of the horse-pulled streetcars with smal locomotive-pulled streetcars scared the horses. They built "Dummy" (fake) car bodies around the locomotives to solve the problem.
