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 seen washing and Exterior painting has started on #10. The old kerosene burning stove has been removed from from #10. This has really opened up the car. Don has acquired a period coal burning store to take its place. Check out recent photos below. Better yet, 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!
