New Sumpter Valley Railway Book!-
A new book on the Sumpter Valley Railway was released by Arcadia Publishing on May 18th 2009.
Authors Alfred Mullett and Leonard Merritt plan to be at the railroad July 4th weekend to sign and sell the books. The book will also be available at the railroad and other local and regional book sellers.
Alfred has also provided a 120 year anniversary advertisement for the Sumpter Valley Railway.
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 excursion trains of the Sumpter Valley Railroad offer an enjoyable way for the whole family to spend a day.
The Sumpter Valley Railroad is open weekends and major holidays, Memorial Day Weekend through the last weekend in September. CLICK HERE for schedules and fares.
