The $ 65K goal to save the grand lady 503 was meet Thursday, 02/22, morning! Hat's off to everyone who chip in the few dollars each to reach the goal. There are more pictures and discussion at: http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/740/p/268343/3040774.aspx#3040774
Now the block and tackel work needs done.

There does not appear to be a topic on this, and time is of the essence.
