NP Dining Car Restoration Project in Tacoma, WA
Posted by Ottercove on Thursday, March 13, 2014 4:00 PM

A 1910 NP Dining car that was moved from Easton WA, to Tacoma a few years for restoration is under the gun to be moved. 
The LeMay Family Collection has offered a permanent home for storage and restoration.  The owner of the car needs to raise 17k by end of the month to get the car to this new location.
Below is the plea for help through Kickstarter to fund the transportation costs.  The Kickstarter site has a lot of good information.
Help if you can!
