Great Freight I
PSRMA moved eighteen
cars and locomotives to our Museum at Campo between July 30th
and August 7th of 1983. It was a railroad adventure without equal in
the West, if not the world! Two elderly locomotives from the Museum
collection manned by the usual PSRMA volunteers
moved the Museum rolling stock collection fifty miles over
two different railroads, up a
steady 1.4% grade and across an international border, covering over 800
miles in ten
round trips. Many professional railroaders in San Diego (all
non-members) said we'd
never make it. Wrong again! (Larry Rose)
