Nace como respuesta a nuestro deseo de concretar un aporte a la recuperación del patrimonio histórico-cultural de nuestro país; recreando la legendaria tradición ferroviaria de Uruguay, mediante la puesta en funcionamiento de trenes a vapor.El servicio de este tren está pensado para atender el turismo nacional e internacional con un altísimo nivel de confort ; con llegada a varios puntos de interés en nuestro país; en la modalidad de viajes contratados e institucionales.
Este Proyecto se concretó a partir de la recuperación de material ferroviario en desuso
aportado por la Administración de Ferrocarriles del estado (A.F.E.), consistente en una locomotora a vapor, dos vagones de pasajeros y un vagón auxiliar.
Los trabajos de restauración demandaron dos años de esfuerzo y dedicación de los miembros de esta Asociación y contratistas; que han sabido restaurar estas unidades ferroviarias; que brindaron su tiempo y servicios en diferentes rubros, tales como mecánica, soldadura, tornería, carpintería, electricidad, pintura, etc. para la materialización de la realidad que hoy es este Proyecto.
La locomotora marca Beyer Peacock del año 1910 con una potencia de 900HP de origen inglés, fue restaurada a nuevo en nuestros talleres. Hoy luce orgullosa sus colores lacre y negro, con algunos toques en verde en el interior de su cabina, comandos en bronce, ruedas color rojo y bielas en gris, piso y puertas en lapacho con detalle de escudos de nuestra Asociación en sus vidrios y tender.
En la formación de vagones de pasajeros se ha puesto énfasis en los mínimos detalles, alcanzando un nivel de esplendor muy contemporáneo. Los vagones Allan son de origen holandés del año 1952 y también han sido restaurados a nuevo en su totalidad.
Sus instalaciones ofrecen un destacado confort interior, con artefactos de bronce, elegantes luminarias, interiores clásicos modificados y reformados con maderas nobles, mesas de cedro con centro en madera raíz de erable color verde, aire acondicionado, equipo de música funcional, ventanas provistas de vidrios blindados fijos, dos cómodos baños por vagón con extractor de aire, cortinas, alfombras y amplios pasillos para la mayor comodidad y circulación de los pasajeros.
Se cuenta con dos vagones que totalizan 192 plazas. Se suma a esto, la atención personalizada a bordo a efectos de brindar el confort necesario de un servicio de alto nivel, con un servicio de catering, mediante la utilización de un snack bar móvil con diferentes ofertas gastronómicas.
El vagón auxiliar se utiliza para el traslado del generador de electricidad, heladeras, freezers y todos los elementos necesarios para la prestación del servicio en el ferrocarril.
