<div> </div>
<div>As many of you are probably aware by now, Northern Ohio Railway Museum
has been donated 3 historic railcars from the RTA, cars 12, 109 and 024. For
years car 12 was Cleveland's fantrip car. In later years, car 109 was also used
on many fantrips. Now we need to move them and pay for that moving, $12,000
worth! We want to get the word out to all area rail enthusiasts and hope that
they will support our mission of keeping Ohio's rail heritage in Ohio. Recently
another part of our heritage, trolley car 1218, was rejected by another
prominent Cleveland area institution. This was the car that was destined to be
displayed in University Circle. Today that car is Illinois. We need the support
of all of Ohio's rail enthusiasts in order to keep our heritage here. I should
mention that other out of state museums were asking about these cars including
one Illinois institution that was formally requesting them also. Our thanks to
RTA's administrators who also believed in keeping Ohio's heritage in
Ohio. The cars will soon be moved by the RTA to another facility on the
Rapid from the Central Rail shops where they presently are. This other site is
where they will be trucked out from. Bids from Silk Road Transport are in and
formal fundraising efforts are beginning. We need to raise $12,000 for moving
costs. As of today $2,100 has been raised and that was essentially by word of
mouth. We ask for your support. </div></div>
