UP618 slated for rebuild

The Heber Valley RR (Utah) has announced that after their UP618 celebrates it's 100th birthday in July - it is scheduled for a complete overhaul to meet FRA requirements.  All they need is $700,000.  Quick - check the couch for loose change.

I sent a $100 donation. Not much but it should help some.
