Museum Discussion / Rail for extensions available from museum in WI
« on: February 07, 2025, 09:58:21 AM »
I saw that yesterday, the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in North Freedom, WI is offering up a good quantity of 60 lb and 72 lb rail. It is being carefully assembled in stockpiles with OTM as they rebuild their mainline. The bidding for the auction closes on March 6th, 2025.

I'm always hoping the extension to Head Tide, Whitefield, or beyond becomes an official project someday. The worries about FRA jurisdiction should not be too onerous, many museums address it. To my knowledge, the rules have been created to make it tolerable for organizations. I can see that spreading the organization too thin is a concern. Hopefully the member/donor/visitor base grows enough to support it.
