Thank you for showing an interest in our group! We are a diverse collection of people interested in historic preservation, so don't think you won't have anything to offer. Membership in the Society shall be open to all persons having an interest in the purposes of the Society.
Fundamentally, members participate and help with the project in two ways: by providing funding through donations and actively participating by either performing restoration labor on the locomotive and other railroad equipment or performing other administrative and public relations duties. All work is on a volunteer basis and all proceeds go directly into materials and services required to restore the locomotive. Members participate as much or as little as they are able. In fact, some of our out-of-state members drop-in and participate "hands-on" only a few times per year.
