I just had a couple questions about #2 after visiting this year. If anyone can answer them I'd sure appreciate it. What does it have for a prime mover? What is its horsepower? Has the main generator ever been replaced? Is the locomotive cab heater? If so, how is that set up? I notice the addition of ditch lights from the "old days". How are those tied into the battery? They are very bright!

I also notice the additional "straight air system" on some of the cars. How is that set up?

I must say I am impressed with the park and the train. Everything is quite clean and seemingly well maintained. I also like the red paint scheme on the locomotives. I still miss the longer ride though.

I am a teacher and some of my students were talking about visiting Edaville this year and how awesome the lights were. Just thought I'd pass that along.

Good job keeping Edaville alive!

The original prime mover was replaced with a Cummins diesel. I was told that the engine was a 250.

The locomotive does have a cab heater and is very comfortable on even the coldest days.

When the engine was constructed by G.E., it was then state-of-the-art in design and utility. It was outfitted with air operated sanders and windshield wipers.

The ditch lights were installed by Cranrail shop crew back around 1999. The addition of a braking system on the cars was added somewhat later and utilizes trailer-truck hardware. This braking system is separate from the locomotives independent brake operation.
