Mountain Railroad in 7.5" Scale
Sitgreaves Mountain Railraod is located in the ponderosa pines of Northern Arizona at an elevation of 7050'. Named after nearby 9388' Sitgreaves Mountain, the railroad is a work in progress and represents an example of many of the past logging railroads of Northern Arizona. Steam locomotives were a commom occurence on these railroads from the 1890's up until the last steam whistle blew in 1960. The line currently consists of about 1500' of track and includes a loop around the property and a wye. A 2-8-0 consolidation steam engine was completed in April 2011 and operates on the line regularly. A small electric engine and an American 4-4-0 steam engine compliment the locomotive roster. The route consists of true mountain railroading with grades approaching 4% and tight radius curves.
