The expected return date has been pushed back to late July. They have (as I last heard) started on the boiler work.

The WMSR is currently seeking funds to support the restoration.

$500= 1/2 hour cab ride, $1000= 1/2 hour throttle time, $2000= 1 hour throttle time.

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Yes, thanks. I just opened last months trains magazine with an article statingvit should be back on the road in July.

Thanks for the up date.
