The museum obtained 2 "Monongahela" road name GP38 g gauge diesels from Shawmut Car Shops who gets diesels directly from Charles Ro and adds the wanted paint scheme. Shawmut also converted 6 C&O labeled hoppers to P&LE, and modified a caboose to exactly model the real size caboose adjacent to the museum building. This train represents the actual trains the Monongahela Railroad operated in the Brownsville area.
