Through a generous donation from the Canadian National, the Missabe Railroad Historical Society is now the proud owner of SD-M #316. The MRHS board is asking the membership to donate funds to help restore the 316 and other Missabe-related prototype equipment the society has been involved with during the past few years, mainly caboose C-205.

These funds will be used to cover all costs to acquire, restore and maintain equipment as deemed appropriate by the board of directors. Costs, such as new paint, mechanical work, fuel, storage fees and insurance, all start to add up and it becomes important the society have a fund dedicated to covering these expenses. It is estimated that it will cost over $10,000 just to repaint the 316.

All those donating will be acknowledged in the "Ore Extra" and on a plaque in the locomotive cab. All donations are 100% tax deductable. Please consider donating today!
