If you haven't done so already, read about our incredible donation matching offer here.
Donations continue to arrive. Sam Polonetzky recently made a donation to the passenger car fund, and we have another from an anonymous donor. We certainly appreciate all the support. The total reported so far is approximately $1,500, so you can still partake of the largess!
And there are a couple of interesting recent comments. Note the one from a member of the Wabash Railroad Historical Society about the replica locomotive we acquired back in May. I'm not sure who's in charge of that project, but somebody should probably reply to Mr. Holzmeier. And then an anonymous comment pointing to the construction of a new carbarn at the Sydney Tramway Museum in Australia. Railway preservation is faced with much the same sort of problems all over the world, I guess.
Please keep those cards and letters coming. Thanks!
Our friends at the Shore Line Trolley Museum are trying to raise $2 million for a pair of above the flood plain car storage buildings. They apparently got $1 million from the state and claim to have raised $1.5 million so far. They got whacked big time by hurricane Sandy.
