ATT steam fans!! The Niagara Falls Railway Museum needs your help!!

The Niagara Falls Railway Museum(NFRM)has recently acquired the last
remaining steam locomotive from the construction of the historic
Adam Beck Generating Station in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Hydro Electric
Power Commission (HEPC) 0-4-0ST #46, was built by the ALCo Cooke
Works in August 1920, and was sold to the HEPC at Niagara Falls.
#46 will be returning to Niagara in the fall of 2006.  Current plans
call for a complete cosmetic restoration, with a possible rebuild
to operating condition in the future.  It will take alot of work
and alot of man hours to return this beautiful locomotive to operating
condition, but we feel it is not impossible.
The NFRM is currently looking for financial or material donations
to be used to help to build her a home and to restore her.  The NFRM
is a charitable organisation, and all Canadian donors can be issued
a tax receipt. But please don't think of bordors for donations, think
of the joy we get out of seeing a steam engine return to life anywhere
in North America.  In a future visit to Niagara Falls, you may be
able to see #46 operating again, and you can say you had a part in
bringing her back to life.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Niagara Falls
Railway Museum feel free to contact us.

Here's the information:
