🚂 Ever Wonder How “Mighty Mo” Got Its Name?
It's a question we've heard from passengers many times aboard the Stewartstown Railroad. For years, even our dedicated volunteers didn't know the answer. But thanks to a little
digging into railroad history, we may have finally uncovered the story!
According to the book Pennsylvania Short Lines,
our beloved Mighty Mo once served in the United States Navy!
During its Navy days, employees reportedly gave the powerful gasoline locomotive the affectionate nickname “Mighty Mo” as a patriotic tribute to the legendary
battleship USS Missouri, a massive warship known for its incredible size, strength, and power.
What better name for a hardworking little locomotive with a mighty big personality?
Want to see Mighty Mo in action? Mighty Mo will be making a rare appearance pulling our Fall Foliage Express! November 7th
