The fund raiser just crossed the $45,000 mark, from just under 900 donors. That's an average of $50 per donor. It's 3PM on Tuesday, and its hauled in $5,000 just since lunch. I think it will make the goal. Hopefully, Jason S. can at least succeed in getting the locomotive to a safe place. According to an interview that I just listened to, he's done some quick UT tests and believes that except for the backhead, the boiler is in pretty good shape.
I looked through the list of donors......I can't believe how many of them I know. Who says that rail enthusiasts don't spend any money?
