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 film is Lost but there may be a print in Australia, it is rumor or rumored that John Wayne is possibly in the film as an Extra but we are yet to know.

Yes, the scenery is very interesting, and Tecate is a nice place to visit. I crewed close to 100 Tecate trips, mostly as conductor and engineer.

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.
@rottenroads19822 ай бұрын
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.

Everything along that line needs to be replaced. I think the Goat Canyon trestle would probably need to be replaced as well as everything is rotting away.

32:21 A flat loaded with brand new Western Electric KS-15676 microwave antennæ , possibly headed to Phoenix Main. AT&T's Bell System was accelerating expansion of their nationwide nicriwave radio network to meet toll traffic demands of those times. I used to work on that stuff.

Coos Bay #11 is lucky to still be around today in preservation, with the exception of it’s sibling #10 unfortunately. It could’ve been in operation at the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad in Garibaldi, Oregon rather than being scrapped.

Men that’s long ago the bridge and tunnels were fresh back then but now land sides and other things the old rail line needs ton of work if they want it to get it working for example making the tunnels wider and bigger trains just get longer bigger taller.

It's a better performance than you might expect from a high school band at that time. But it was a big school with first-rate instructors in the area.

a bit slow in tempo for street marching, but nice job band. By the way, those chairs for the band members are horrible. It doesn't look like it promotes good playing posture....just my observation.
