Story

The United States Potash Railroad was a narrow gauge railroad built in 1930 to carry potash from the mines to the mill. The 16-mile railroad was located just east of Carlsbad, New Mexico, USA, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The railroad was originally built and operated with former Death Valley Railroad equipment, rails and employees. Steam locomotives were used initially, but were eventually replaced by diesel-electric locomotives. The railroad ceased operation in 1967.
