Equipment Committee Chairman, Don Oberding and his `crew' have been making great progress with the restoration and maintenance of these cars. The most recent activities have been seasonal painting and the removal of the old kerosene burning stove from #10. This has really opened up the car. Don has acquired a period coal burning store to take its place. Come see the spiffed-up cars in person.

Tickets can be purchased on-line. Any unsold tickets may be purchased on-site. Bring your family and friends, help contribute to the museum and share the experience of the ride!
