~ First Run ~
I felt that this page was important to include in the website because it was essential for us to be able to run trains even though the layout wasn't complete.

After the completion of Main 2, it was time to run some trains. Below is the first train to ever run on the MANNM Railway, a LGB Union Pacific passenger train.
