=== Navyco Take Over (1979-1997) === After the Bridgewater and Red Mesa Railway ceased operations, the New Territories Government took over their operations for 4 years, until the railroad was finally leased to Navyco, a military and transportation logistics corporation, in 1984. Navyco rebranded the railroad to the Bridgewater, Red Mesa Railroad, and all new equipment acquired a brand new reporting mark, BIRM. The new BIRM railroad faced several challenges, including reconstruction of a lot of the old right of way, a new radio system, new locomotives and rolling stock, and a boom in Iron Ore demand. The BIRM and Quincy Southern Railroad (QSR) collaborated on a project to increase capacity in the Red Mesa yards for the iron ore trains. BIRM would reconstruct the Broken Back Mine lead to have smoother gradients, and a new siding, while cutting their main yard in half in favor of a brand new Rex Yard to accommodate ore trains, which would be built along the QSR main. QSR would decommission their main track between Red Mesa and Camper, and QSR trains would reroute on the BIRM and take the newly constructed Henry Cutoff between Sargent and Camper. A brand new centralized traffic control system would also be implemented, the first ever signal system on the Red Mesa Northern Trackage. The project was complete by 1989.
