For
over thirty years the Sumpter Valley
Railroad Restoration Inc. has been dedicated to rebuilding this remnant
of the past for the enjoyment of future generations. Since the first
excursion train pulled out of McEwen station in 1976, an almost all
volunteer staff has rebuilt over five miles of rail line, fully restored
two original steam locomotives, refurbished numerous pieces of rolling
stock, and constructed all the facilities it takes to run a railroad.
While traveling through the forests and gold dredge tailings of the
Sumpter
Valley, visitors are given a glimpse back in time without having to
leave the comfort of the present. Operating between McEwen and the
historic mining town of
Sumpter,
the steam-powered excursions of the Sumpter
Valley Railroad offer an enjoyable way for the whole family to spend a
day.
