https://www.gofundme.com/nh5111 There is Only 24 hours left to save these two historic railcars. NH 5111: built in 1954 by Pullman Standard in Worcester MA. LAST surviving New Haven Club Car and one of three Washboards still in existence. SPV 1001: built in 1980? By the Budd company for the Connecticut Department of Transportation. This is the only Conferences/business SPV car. It is the only SPV car to transport Governor John Rowland. These cars are moving to a new home at the Danbury Railroad Museum. Both cars will be moving to Danbury on there own wheels. I encourage everyone to donate a few dollars so these historic railcars will have a future! |

Orion, the 1001 has been sitting on Track 6 in New Haven Station for several days now. I see that it's still sitting there this morning. Is it not waiting to be picked up by P&W? |

Yes it is waiting for P&W pickup. 1001 MUST be off track 6 by Tuesday night otherwise it could end up back in the yard and not move at all. I am working closely with P&W. It a matter of logistics and funding. |

VIdeo of the cars on the move. SAndwgiched between two PW locos. I’m more surprised MN didn’t make the move seeing it’s all home territory but anyway: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2085810 ... 903503851/ |
