Re: D&RGW 223

Steve,

Thanks for setting the record straight. We also have raised the funds to have both compressors rebuilt and various other components that we couldn't do in house fabricated with outside suppliers or doners.

Anyone who is interested is seeing the facts may take a look at the following sites.

The Web site for the Golden Spike Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society is http://www.trainweb.org/GoldenSpikeLRHS/

We also have a Yahoo! Group for anyone who would like to follow our activities in more detail http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/GSRLHS/

Our restoration shops are at Ogden Union Station http://www.theunionstation.org/

We are always open to visitors, volunteers, advice from afar from experts, or donations of materials, services, or funds.

One of the things that we did with great success this year was have the restoration shops open for tours during the Hostlers Model Railroad Festival in March. We are willing to continue doing that during any related event at Union Station or in the area.

D&RGW 223 will run again!
