By this morning, Friday, we have reached $6532.00 in pledges aaginst our goal of $7600. We are now really close with not much time left on this fund raising effort.
Our Silverton Northern committee met last night to lay out plans for getting a start on this work if the funds come into place. One of our members, Tony Berenyi, is volunteering his firm's engineering services. His company, located in Charleston, SC does FRA bridge inspection work for several railroads plus engineering for new installations, so we are are seeking what ever donations other than money that we can. The transportation of the rail to Silverton was all donated, as an example.
Our thanks for the donatons to everyone that have been made so far.
