Things are starting to change around the shop heading into 2016. Wayne M is continuing his painting, finishing off the black around the roll up doors and some of the silver and grey on the supports. Ken Sr. started running some of the new wiring through the conduit to provide new lighting for 2016. Ken Jr. cleared out the ties and wood that was inside the storage car, with the next step being the removal of the 4 Fairmont A4d gangcars that are inside. Once the cars are out of the boxcar it will be stripped, cleaned and rebuilt for a new display and store car. As always, we’re looking for new volunteers to come out and help with the many projects we have going on.

As 2015 draws to a close, we hope you will consider supporting the Niagara Railway Museum in 2016.? Our wish list is below.

? Caboose ? An integral part of the railway system, and a necessary item for any Museum. Our number one item needed for specific plans in 2016.

? Track materials ? 100lb rail, plates, bars, also regular and turnout ties and 100lb turnout material .

? Cash donations ? operating the Museum requires funding.? Donations can be made through www.canadahelps.org

? Building supplies ? lumber, insulation, screws, etc.

? Local artifacts ? we?re always looking for new artifacts, photographs, etc. for donation and display.

? OLD luggage ? for display on our baggage carts, some old luggage and trunks.
