Wow thanks Sam! With what pledges I already know about, your donation puts us about a quarter way there.
If you like, you can contact the Friends office and let Gwen or Katharina know to watch for your employers contribution so when it shows up it can be credited to the bearing account.
Whatever contribution anyone can make will be appreciated and help us reach our goal of 8 tank cars in less than 2 years. Hopefully Santa might provide some extra 'funds' you can contribute, and your help will reduce your taxes this year.
Russ, one of our directors likes your idea of people who contribute to the bearing fund getting a discount ticket to show the railroad's appreciation for their help, and he is going to look into it.
The long lead time of getting the brasses cast, babbit poured and machined require us to raise enough money to show we can pull this off and start the process, so we need your donations as soon as possible. There is still time to donate later once the brasses are cast and the rest of the work to finish them starts.
It will certainly be a lot more interesting to watch an oil car train roll by you with it's helper that just having look at an old photo. While we don't have eleven cars or so, eight together is something none of us have seen on the CATS for a half century.
