Contributions needed for Rock Island E Units
restoration.
Mid-American has been very patient with me by storing
the two Rock Island E units (E-6 #630 and E-8 #652) for some time. They
need room for other business now so we have to get the project
going.
Cosmetic restoration and FRA compliance is to be done
to each unit starting soon. The cost will be just under $125,000
for each unit and the $250,000 project must be paid in full by end of
June.
We will be applying for various grant funds, but
really need some assistance in raising the necessary money for this
project.
Contributions are tax deductible. I can
also send out a PayPal invoice if I get an email address and donation
amount.
UPDATE:
As of end of January, we have made payments of over
$100,000 toward the project. A former Rock Island executive has
offered a match of contributions up to $10,000.
