An exhilarating ride from the front of the head locomotive on the private 9" gauge 3" scale Mesa Grande Western Railroad in the high desert of Southern California! #268 takes the point with the mogul acting as mid-train helper, with all the cars on the property hooked on. The ride takes you from the bottom to the top, about a mile and a half through bridges, tunnels and trestles. These oil fired locomotives bark like no other!
The Mesa Grande Western Railroad was started by cabinet maker Harry S. Pulaski in 1956, and moved to the present location in the high desert of Southern California in the mid-1960s. Since then it has been kept alive by successive generations of live steamers. Sadly, this railroad was caught in the Bobcat fire in 2020 and all of the bridges and trestles you see here were burned. As of 2022 we are in the process of rebuilding or bypassing them. Currently about 1/2 of the railroad is operable. This video was made before the fire. The Mesa Grande Western is the only active 9" gauge railroad in the United States and one of only a handful existing world wide. The railroad is private and not open to the public.
