The Riverside and Great Northern Railway (R&GN) is a  gauge miniature railway and heritage railroad in Wisconsin Dells.  The railway is operated by the Riverside and Great Northern Preservation Society and includes the former shops of the Sandley Light Railway Equipment Works, a miniature train manufacturing business of the father and son team Elmer and Norman Sandley.

History 
The railway was started in Janesville, Wisconsin, as a demonstration railway for Sandley locomotives and rolling stock. In 1952 the Sandleys relocated to the former right-of-way of the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad near Wisconsin Dells, which was abandoned in favor of a route with a smoother grade  to the south.

The Sandleys built their shops, a replica and C&NW depot (scaled down), and a railway to demonstrate their products. The railway and workshops attracted visitors from around the world. They built about 15 locomotives and over 30 pieces of rolling stock. Trains that once ran at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and the Knoxville Zoo were built at the Wisconsin Dells facilities. The Sandleys also built the entire railway currently still in use at the Milwaukee Zoo as well.

In the early 1980s, new locomotive and rolling stock orders dropped off, forcing Norman Sandley into bankruptcy. 1980 was the last season for train operations on the R&GN under Sandley management. In the late 1980s a group of enthusiasts made plans to purchase the property. The R&GN Preservation Society was formed, and members began replacing ties and repairing buildings, but they still had to find a train. One of the group's members had built a diesel locomotive and this was traded to the Milwaukee County Zoo for the no. 82 steam locomotive, which had not been running because it was not powerful enough to pull the longer trains needed at the zoo's railway. The society has since acquired another steam locomotive, former Hoot-Toot & Whistle Railway#98, from the Old Wakarusa Railroad in Indiana. Both locomotives were built at the Wisconsin Dells shops in the late 1950s, with #98 being the motive power for the Hoot-Toot & Whistle Railway near Elgin, Illinois.

The railroad includes an operational joinery building where coaches are restored and maintained, a picnic area, and a gift shop.

The band participates in major national events such as the Jamhuri Day Trooping of the Colour parade and Heroes' Day.  It also performs during state visit arrival ceremonies at State House for foreign leaders. In these visits, the band has received prominent heads of state such as US President Barack Obama, Namibian President Hage Geingob and Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi. It also takes part in smaller scale events such as the DEFABA CDF cup and the aircraft. The band wears a distinctive black monkey bearskin based on the one that is used by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards of the British Army. An associated band called the Kenya Air Force Pipe Band was founded in early 1971 at what was formerly RAF Eastleigh.

Ivory Act 2018 (c. 30) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that introduced a prohibition on dealing in items containing elephant ivory, with limited exemptions. The Act also established a new compliance regime for exempted items, and introduced civil and criminal penalties for those found guilty of breaching the ban.

The Ivory Bill was introduced to the House of Commons as a Government bill by the Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, on 23 May 2018, and to the House of Lords by the Minister for Rural Affairs, Baron Gardiner of Kimble, on 5 July 2018. The Bill was given the Royal Assent on 20 December 2018.

Background 
In September 2016, the British Government announced its intention to introduce a ban on the sale of all ‘worked’ ivory produced after 1947. Any works produced before 1947 would be classified as antiques, and trade in these goods would permitted. This was criticised as the Conservative Party manifesto for the 2015 general election pledged to introduce a total ban on the ivory trade. A petition was launched on the Parliament petitions website in response, gathering more than the 100,000 signatures required to force a debate in Parliament.

The Ivory Bill was introduced to the House of Commons as a Government bill by the Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, on 23 May 2018, and to the House of Lords by the Minister for Rural Affairs, Baron Gardiner of Kimble, on 5 July 2018. The Bill was given the Royal Assent on 20 December 2018.

Act

Prohibition and exceptions 
Section 1 of the Act prohibits dealing in ivory. The Section came into force, thus commencing the ban, on 6 June 2022.

Compliance regime

Penalties

Judicial review 
A group of Antique dealers known as Friends of Antique Cultural Treasures (FACT), funded by the British Antique Dealers’ Association, challenged the ban in the High Court. The group were granted leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal.

On 18 May 2020, the Court of Appeal dismissing the appeal. The group were denied leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Commentary 
National Geographic described the ban as "one of the strictest in the world" and Reuters said that it was the "toughest ban on ivory in Europe".

Aftermath
In May 2023 it was announced that new legislation would extend the ban to the ivory of other species, including hippopotamuses, orcas, and walruses.
