The Copper State Railway (CSR) is a proto-freelance railroad operating on existing and fictional rail lines serving customers throughout the state of Arizona. The mainlines extend from Wellton to Picacho and up to Two Guns supporting interchange traffic with UP (SP), BNSF (ATSF), & CBRY. Branch lines support many local industries in the greater Phoenix area. Additional customers include bulk commodities with a copper mine located in Superior, a potash facility and coal fired power plant near Meteor City, and several agricultural customers in the Phoenix Valley. Locomotives have been purchased both first and second hand and this Athearn Genesis EMD F45 offering is a prime example.
