I have no doubt that the YMSPRR cannot rebuild these cars financially. They were just historic displays.
After the ashes settle, if there is enough metal left, can we get a go fund me page and a match from the NGPF to fund a rebuilding of the plow with new wood and new needed hardware etc.
Would be worth trying to resurect this piece. The tank and milwalke critter and reefer chassis sadly are probably gone forever along with the little two axle crane car and the spare trucks.
