The Hurlbut locomotive at Pinnacle Peak & Southern Railroad
Our Locomotive

The "Hurlbut"

Our flagship locomotive is an 1859 4-4-0 steam-profile engine — a beautiful quarter-scale replica of a classic American Standard type locomotive. While she looks like she runs on steam, the Hurlbut is actually gas-powered for reliable, safe operation.

The 4-4-0 wheel arrangement was the most common locomotive design in 19th century America, and our Hurlbut pays faithful tribute to that heritage.

Our Train Consist

Trolley Cars

Two converted trolley cars provide comfortable seating for our passengers. These cars have been adapted specifically for our 15-inch gauge track.

Conductor Car

Our conductor car rounds out the train consist, providing a place for our conductor to ride and ensuring safe operations on every run.

Coming Soon

We are actively working on adding an additional locomotive and two new passenger cars to our roster. Stay tuned for updates!
