Hello to all of the photographers, historians and anyone who might have pictures of the Frisco Mikes #1350 - 1356. The American Steam Railroad is in need of pictures from both the past and the present for our news letter coming out in December of 2009. If you have any pictures of the move to Taylorville, IL or out of Swoop Park please send them ASAP to contact@americansteamrailroad.org

Please include your name, description of the picture and the possible date it was taken so we can give credit in the caption.

If you didn't take advantage of the offer at Train Festival an individual membership it 35.00 dollars and we'll send you a #1352 hat or T-Shirt as our thanks and this can be purchased online and can be take off on your taxes at the end of the year. Please help us make our first new letter a big hit and keep them going for many years to come.

On a personal note I wanted to say thank-you for all of the many folks who stopped by our booth during the festival and bought a Raffle Ticket, Hat and T-Shirt to support our cause. Without your support dollars restoration projects such as #1352 would never see the light of day. So if you have not donated please consider helping us out as a membership can make a purchase of 1 boiler tube to bring #1352 back to life.

Best Regards,
