Western Maryland Scenic obtains $50,000 grant for rehabilitation of 2-6-6-2
congratulations again Mike !
Can’t wait to see her steaming around Helmstetter’s Curve! She will be able to negotiate that trackage, won’t she?
Yay!!! 
A full scale restoration to operational status is a very costly proposition. Usually today the cost is quoted at $1 million, even when volunteer help is used. While $50,000 is a nice contribution, where will the rest of the funds come from? I’d also be skeptical that all that work can be completed by next year, even if the full cost can be covered.
Charity Search Engines as a new source of funds.
