Sunday June 1st ended up being the perfect end to a great weekend at the Museum. The grass has been cut, and a new video of the now operational Whiting 2TMA Trackmobile was made showing some operation, and movement under it?s own power. The video can be found here:?????? http://youtu.be/nrom7uzkgL0

The Porter locomotive and ingot car from Atlas Steel in Welland, ON

In other news, the Niagara Railway Museum Inc. is very pleased to partner with the Welland Historical Museum (http://wellandmuseum.ca/) in preserving our area?s railway and industrial heritage.? As of June 1st, the WHM officially took ownership of the ex Atlas Steel 30? gauge Porter Fireless locomotive from the Fort Erie Railroad Museum.? The FERM decided it no longer fit their collection and planned to dispose of it.? Working with the NRM, the Welland Museum was able to secure ownership, and the NRM will move, store, and display the locomotive at our shop in Fort Erie on a temporary loan basis. Along with the locomotive is the only remaining ingot car from the Atlas operation.? The NRM hopes to move the locomotive and ingot car in mid July. We look forward to working with the Welland Museum on this great project.
