It is in surprisingly good condition... a really clean boiler, and every appliance we have removed looks as new...

It still has its asbestos... so I have to limit access... Right now Dan and company are finishing Elsa... but once done, 12 is a possible project. Once the asbestos is off we can to a UT test to confirm the boiler's condition.

We recently built a structure inside the baggage car, with the B&S car next, to stabilize the carbodies and particularly the roofs..

The museum received the promise of conservation bond and other funds totaling $30.5 million to build a new, 3 building complex.

The deed of gift was very specific that it remain in Southern Nevada...
