Why? We've spent bazillions of dollars. Had a dozen different operators. Every one of them failed. Even when it was running at it's peak it was way below the break even point of income vs costs. It might be romantic to look at but as a business venture, it's proven true to it's name "The Impossible Railroad".

Apparently there is yet another study ongoing whether the entire line can be used again. In the meantime, come out to PSRM Campo to ride one of our trains. Next up are the North Pole trains starting on November 29th.

The MRS-1 that is in this video is the EMD MRS-1, and not the Alco MRS-1. You can tell the two MRS-1 Diesels apart based on the roof. Alco MRS-1’s have a rounded continuous roof. EMD MRS-1’s have an Angular roof, and a flat portion.

Wait wait so the US army made this locomotive like they did planes in ww2 so 1 model is built by many diffrent manufacturers?

@@MagnumLoadedTractor ALCO designed the MRS-1's and built them as well as EMD but as a subcontractor for the US Army. 96 MRS-1's in total during 1953 and 1954 were manufactured and 50 of the MRS-1's were equipped with steam generators. ALCO MRS-1's had ALCO 12-244 prime movers while EMD MRS-1's had EMD 567D prime movers. To tell the difference, as mentioned, was to look at the design of the roofs and exhaust manifolds. ALCO MRS-1's & EMD MRS-1's sound completely different as well being that ALCO was four stroke like GE and EMD is two stroke. All of these units were immediately put into storage because the military only planned to use them globally during wartime purposes. All of them were in deadline storage until 1970 when age was becoming a factor and the Army was going to acquire newer units anyways. Within a few years most of them were scrapped or sold in railroad surplus while the last MRS-1's still in military service were given to the Navy until they discontinued the units. About several to a handful of MRS-1's are known to still exist either in freight service or museum preservation.

The MRS-1 Series of Locomotives (produced by Alco & EMD) are fine locomotives indeed. Sure wish there could be official HO scale models of them.
