Late night putting the sand dome back on 250
We are dedicated to collecting, preserving, restoring, displaying, and operating railway equipment for the education and enjoyment of the public.
MRPS Membership is 100% volunteer, including our Board and Officers. We are from every age, profession, background and Skill level. Some of us love steam; others are hooked on diesel. Some of us volunteer at the Roundhouse; some simply support what we are doing through their Membership dues. But there is one thing we all have in common: the determination to preserve the equipment and facilities of Northeast Ohio railroading past.

CRC1776 is on it's way to Cincinnati.
A few weeks ago we had a film crew come to the Roundhouse to film a commercial for Liberty Ford. Here is the end result.
