Milwaukee Road Buffeteria 126 still needs your help. Thank you so much to those who have donated so far to get us just past the $2,500 mark! There's still a long way to go to reach our $25,000 goal, but we can accomplish this with your help. Please consider a donation, and help us out by spreading the word to Facebook friends and those not on it. The $25,000 goal will go towards shipping 126 to Union, IL and the beginnings of a restoration to 1964 UP Yellow.
MILW 126 was built in 1948 by the Milwaukee Shops of the Milwaukee Road as a standard 48-seat diner. In 1964, along with 2 sister cars, 126 was rebuilt as a 32-seat 'Buffeteria' diner- a buffet-cafeteria configuration still in use today by Amtrak. Upon retirement from the Milwaukee Road in 1971, 126 was sold to a private owner, and was resold in the mid 90s. The car's current owner is donating the car to IRM, but we need your help to get 126 to Union.
