I for one am putting my money where there mouth is...I have just joined the "Friends" as a Patron for the "at least" the 2011 timeframe to help them reach their membership goals of 8% per year.
I feel that the Friends are one of the premier support groups formed around saving and preserving a railroad. I wish to participate in a small way and learn from them and hopefully start a small movement which I call the "Sister Railroad Program". I hope that other international railfans like myself can help connect and promote railroads in different countries. See my proposal at RYPN. Anybody care to help or lend suggestions?
cool regards from Brazil
