I’m voting the Nevada State Railroad Museum since I saw this here by the NSRM themselves here:

I’d vote for that new start-up museum on the outskirts of Des Moines, IA. It seems to be very viable. I think it may be in Norwalk. :rofl:

If someone were to save it because it’s in the spsf Kodachrome…. How long before they’d be raising money to repaint it?

That’s the thing that could be left for later. Only time will tell the answer.
