Prescott Canyon Southern Railroad

Chief Operating Engineer

The ORIGINAL "Prescott Canyon Southern" Railroad was located at the home of Stan and Kay Cedarleaf in Prescott, Arizona and was named for the retirement community where we lived. "Prescott Canyon Estates." We moved to this home on October 3, 2000 and construction on the "PCSRR" started on October 24th. The layout started as circa 1900, but diesel equipment has been added. Modernization was inevitable.....

The first track was laid in a simple loop so we could start running trains. A second oval was added on November 4, 2000 to run a holiday train. The layout had no track power until the expansion loop was laid in June of 2002. All locomotives were converted to battery operation. It is our desire to have trains running on the layout to entertain rather thn the need to have full control over each engine. We've found it to be a lot cheaper and easier for us to do it that way.

The layout was expanded to the side and back yard in June of 2002 and covers our 50 x 130 foot lot. Over 900 feet of track was laid to handle the engines and rolling stock of the PCSRR.

On 4/23/05 the original layout was dismantled for rebuilding on the site on the right. Click Here to go to Page 1 of the NEW PCSRR Dewey Branch.
