WELP, it looks like this 100-foot long railway no longer holds the title, as it closed down in April 2023:

Although maybe a definitional stretch the shortest train cabride is in the Franklin Museum in Philadelphia. They have a full size loco in the basement that runs along the track for maybe 10 or so feet and back again. You can ride in the cab as it moves. Next time I go there I’ll film it and post it to YouTube. Ha ha.

By all means, take a photo or, better yet, a video.
