Really enjoyed the ride from my semi-warm room in those nice old cars.  -Nothing technical, but did the originals use coal, steam engines?

The Pioneers' Railway started with diesel railcars:

However, in the initial years when traffic grew much faster than expected, steamers also came to help out. One of these, plus another steam locomotive from another railway, today pulls regular nostalgic trains.

But for most of its life, the line saw diesel service. After the railcars, there were the Mk49 locos, purpose-built for this railway, but failed (to weak):

The Mk49 was replaced in 1973 by the East Bloc's narrow-gauge standard locos, imported from Romania as type Mk45.
