Nico Bob Sold all the rail from this RR a couple of years ago. He since has moved to Tehachipi and still retains the engines and cars I believe. Bob.......

The railroad that RMI built. Yet another example of a railroad property that could not find a buyer to take the property with the railroad in-tact. I last saw them at the Train Mountain Triennial in '09, perhaps they will be at this one as well. They have a nice custom airbrushed trailer with railroading scenes on it and a Sweet Creek with a number of cars. They got a lot of track time in last time.

All the switches and a little track went to a railroad in Camarillo Ca, The rest of the track, Sweet Creek, cars, Trolley and the Air brushed trailer went to a railroad in Georgia or Tennessee. The X-1 is still in Tehachipi at the brother in laws, Bob is in Hawaii.
We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
