A Trip On The Plaster City Narrow Gauge

The first comprehensive railfan video covering the entire 26-mile Plaster City Narrow Gauge Railroad. This is the last exclusively freight-hauling three foot gauge railroad in the United States. The overall uniqueness of this operation demonstrates what a modern, 21st Century American narrow gauge railroad might look like had the national industrial transportation industry not taken such a turn years ago. The locomotives, designated DL-535E, were built by MLW/Bombardier in 1982 for the White Pass & Yukon, however, they were never delivered. The units are powered by an ALCO 251D prime mover producing 1200hp. The Gypsum train makes anywhere from 1-3 round trips to the mine and back depending on the demand for ore used in the production of drywall at Plaster City.
