Great article in the San Diego Union Tribune today:

I wish they would have included a link to donate to the project.

Cool. Dodge's "Rails to the Silvergate" includes a couple of pictures of that car.

Back in 1970, I took a picture of the McKeen car body that was part of Al's Plumbing shop in Carson City, which is now the only running McKeen car.
