Below is the equipment that will be brought to Butte Falls in Phase 1 of the construction.
Medco number 8 is a Baldwin built S6 diesel locomotive. It was the last operating locomotive on the Medco line. The Society purchased this locomotive from the Magma Arizona RR and has been restored to operational condition in its Medco look.
This Southern Pacific 40 foot flat car will be modified to become an open passenger car for the Butte Falls Scenic Railway.
