The collection of vintage rolling stock at ES&NA is one of the Ozarks' largest, and all the authentic railroad memorabilia is here to re-create the turn-of-the-century era and give modern visitors a taste of how it was when rail service brought the first visitors to Eureka Springs in 1883. From the first rumble of the engine and clanging of the bell to call boarders, it's an exciting adventure and the ultimate nostalgia trip right down to the last blowing of the horn. It's family fun at it's finest from the minute you arrive at the historic Eureka Springs depot, restored to live again as the home for the ES&NA Railway.

The Interstate Railroad was founded in 1896. It consisted of 5 3/4 miles of single track, 1 used locomotive, 1 day coach, 1 baggage car, 1 combine car, 3 boxcars, 2 flat cars and a section car. The tracks to the mines and ovens were under the control of the VC&I Company (Interstate's parent company). A few years later, the road made a connection with the Virginia & Southwestern RR (became part of the Southern) providing a southbound outlet for the coal of the region. The railroad gradually spread east until it made a connection with the N&W at Norton in 1909. In 1923, the Interstate RR stretched again to make a connection with the CC&O (later Clinchfield) at Miller Yard. The L&N used trackage rights over this section (Guest River Extension), in the 30's, to deliver coal to the CC&O. In 1935, the IRR and L&N esablished a flat rate per car arrangement. The L&N would drop off it's Clinchfield bound loads at Dorchester Jct. and the IRR would deliver them to Miller Yard. This arrangement lasted 38 years, ending in 1973. The Interstate made it's money a little different then most railroads. The normal way, delivering online coal from the mines to the interchange points. The other way, was through per-diem charges on the hopper fleet. Each night at midnight, a record is made of where all the revenue cars are located. The railroad holding the cars is charger a per-diem fee to be paid to the owner. Interstate crews were very good at the per-diem game. If a foreign road car was on the line for loading, it was placed at the tipple to be loaded first. The car would then be loaded and moved to the interchange before midnight. When the L&N or the Clinchfield delivered cars for the Interstate to move to another interchange, no matter what time it was, the IRR would send a crew out to move the cras to the interchange and off their rails. This way, another railroad had to pay the per-diem charges. By managing their per-diem charges and making sure Interstate hoppers spent most of their time off-line, the Interstate showed a profit almost every year. In the late 1950's, the Interstate's fleet of 5 ton hoppers were getting old and in need of replacement. The cost of buying and builting a new fleet was too high for the little railroad. The management decided to put the railroad up for sale. Both, the L&N and Southern, placed bids for the line. The Southern was the high bidder and took ownership in Oct. 1960. From 1960 to 1965, Southern left the line the way it was. On September 10, 1965, all that changed. The Southern closed it's Appalachia yard and moved to Andover. The Interstate's RS3's were moved south to work as yard and transfer engines in Georgia and the Carolina's. The Southern replaced the RS3's with old F-units for the IRR mine runs. The Interstate crews were not happy and it made their jobs alot harder. In the late 60's, the Southern brought in GP38's for use on the branch lines. A transloading facility was built at the ex-Southern yard in Appalachia by the Westmoreland Coal Company. This facility became the destination for many single car loads from the tipples on the ex-Interstate. These local run only cars were old 50 and 70 ton hoppers, also known as yellow balls. This facility would process the coal and reload it into larger cars, that were part of a unit train. The loader at Wentz also became a unit train loader. The next major change came with the 1982 merger of Southern and N&W (becoming Norfolk Southern). On Oct.31st, 1985, the Interstate ceased to exist as a separate entity. Control of the area was transferred to the Clinch Valley Extension of the Pocahontas Division.

The LVR was formed in 1974 and incorporated in 1977. The society's aim is to restore, maintain and operate vintage trains. Based at Cowra NSW, the society occupies the Locomotive Depot and Roundhouse, vacated by the State Rail Authority during the 1980s. It was opened in 1923, replacing the original depot located adjacent to Cowra Station. This depot was opened in 1886 when rail reached Cowra from Harden. The current depot once boasted award winning gardens, which fell into disrepair during the 1970s. When closed by the SRA, the LVR immediately took over, since the LVR was occupying part of the complex. The gardens have been restored, and the LVR now houses the full collection of locomotives and rolling stock at the depot. Since formation of the society, the collection has grown with steam locos, diesel locos, rail motors, rail cars, passenger cars and freight stock being added. Some items date back to the last century. Volunteers from across NSW spend their spare time restoring , and operating trains. You can become a member too.

The Mornington Railway (MR) is managed and operated by dedicated volunteers. The Mornington Railway Preservation Society (MRPS), which is the not-for-profit incorporated association that manages the MR, was formed out of a public meeting in 1984 with the objective of securing access to the then-closed Mornington railway line. The vision was to reopen it as a heritage railway, focusing on the operation of steam-hauled passenger trains. In 1991, after seven years of hard work and lobbying, the MRPS was granted a State Government Order in Council, which gave us access and operating rights to the line, so it could be operated as a tourist railway. In the nineteen years since that inaugural meeting, an unbelievable amount of time, effort and money has gone into the development of the concept, the restoration and acquisition of equipment, the raising of funding to pay for capital works and the management of the day-to-day operation of the MR. So who are the people who have completed these enormous tasks? Our team consists of men and women, young and old, from all walks of life. Some of us are railway enthusiasts, others simply enjoy the challenge of rebuilding something which other people say "can't be done!". Others enjoy the opportunity to work with the public, or to take on a management role in a less-stressful environment than at their day-to-day work. Outside the railway, some of us are employed full-time; others are retired, on benefits, or still at school. In other words, we are just ordinary people, enjoying ourselves whilst working together to build a great tourism and heritage resource for the Mornington Peninsula. Our work on the Mornington Railway is still very much in progress. Much has been done, but a great deal more remains to do, and much potential still lies untapped. Some of the exciting projects scheduled for the future include: - Re-opening the section of track between Baxter and Moorooduc. - Gaining main line access at Baxter, enabling us to run into Frankston (and beyond).

The Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) has wide experience preserving Scotland's railway heritage with members carrying out restoration work on the Society's large collection of railway equipment. Stock includes locomotives from the Caledonian and North British Railway companies, the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), British Railways (BR) and many industrial railways, as well as a wide selection of coaches and wagons. The Society was formed in 1961 and now has about 1250 members. In its early years the Society set up a small museum at Murrayfield station in Edinburgh. With the addition of more and larger items to the collection the SRPS moved its activities to Falkirk. Throughout this period the aim was to establish a preserved railway in central Scotland on which to display this collection. Each year since 1970 members of the Society have organised a programme of main-line excursions. From the start, SRPS Railtours have used coaches from the Society's collection on the main-line. Currently SRPS Railtours operates a train of maroon Mk1 coaches dating from the early 1960's. The SRPS is the only volunteer group to maintain a set of passenger coaches to the high standards required for running on Railtrack lines. SRPS Railtours have been a major source of funds for the development of the Society's steam railway and museum.
