MGRS will be running trains again on Saturday, March 16 at the Cross Arena in Portland for the Strive Rocks Weekend 2019.

Strive is helps people from age 11-24 who have developmental disabilities. Strive Rocks brings hundreds of them together for a weekend of fun and friendship. We are again providing sponsorship for this event.

Please volunteer to help with the trains. We usually run trains from 10am-6pm. The trailer usually arrives at 7am for setup.

Young engineers will be running trains again. Here is the proposed layout with one loop, a trolley reversing line, and two Eggliners.
