A Unique Challenge
With five unique, sole-surviving first-generation "roarers", three second-generation examples, and even one third-generation loco to take care of (who else can offer that?!), we need YOUR support to ensure these historic designs are returned to their former glory and preserved for future generations to marvel at.
We're facing the unique challenge of restoring an early 25kV AC electric locomotive back to working order, but the more help we receive, the faster it will happen. Will you take the challenge?
