MRPS Membership is 100% volunteer, including our Board and Officers. We are from every age, profession, background and Skill level. Some of us love steam; others are hooked on diesel. Some of us volunteer at the Roundhouse; some simply support what we are doing through their Membership dues. But there is one thing we all have in common: the determination to preserve the equipment and facilities of Northeast Ohio railroading past.

DALT 10 the former NYC 10 began its journey on its way to interchange with Amtrak. After its trip on Amtrak, it finished its trip on CSX to MRPS where it will have some work done to it. Note that the car was sitting at John Cars, The Dallas Terminal Railway where it has been for the last 20 years

One thing I've always set out to catch was the rare and elusive Dallas Terminal Railway on the ex H&TC industrial trackage east of Downtown Dallas. One thing...

Yesterday, day train ride on the Royal Gorge Railroad. Before we did the ride we went to the maintenance shop and saw how they keep their cars and loco running.

Me and this beast did some battling today. So I had to remove the plate marked with the arrow to expose the frame and the repair weld (middle pic). Once the plate was cut it revealed a present. Another smaller plate that now needs to be cut out(in the square). I don’t pick a fight I can’t win. Just need more time and fire.
