Current status:
1. The cars are in storage at Edaville.
2. All cars received from So. Africa (3 hoppers and 3 flats) need to have compatible coupling mechanisms fabricated and/or modified. The details of this is still in-flux.
3. The cars *may* see some use at Edaville, while they are there.
4. Meanwhile, the method of transportation from Edaville to Alna has changed slightly. This will be done in-house using the trailer that is being repaired.
5. The goal is to have the hopper cars in Alna before Fall Work Weekend.
Fundraising to pay for the cars has stalled at $22,778.00 (35% of the $66,000 cost). This will mean that some of our reserves will be necessary to fund the project.
