The
following roster summary is taken from a draft article for MR that was written

Pennrail's locomotive
fleet is largely second-hand. Some have been painted in PR's green/yellow, and

They run in pairs, and can sometimes can be seen as a quartet. The express trains ride behind one of the

modeled Roster of the Pennrail System Both type & number series, along
with who the owner is. Locomotives labeled PSMRRC Original refer to the
original Pennrail units painted by Fred Monsimer back in 1987-1988. Soon it will also have links to units as they are finished.
