Railroad & Industrial Preservation Society, Inc.

Time to Spring Forward! With warmer weather around the corner, we are looking forward to major work commencing on LNE #611.We’ve raised almost 10% of our total restoration goal of $150,000 and a bit more funding in the bank will allow us to jump start progress.

Work will begin on the roller bearing trucks and traction motors. It may not be the most visually exciting part of the project, but it is essential. We invite your help in two ways.

First, please join the effort to meet our Spring Forward goal of $5000.

The easiest way to donate is our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8be496c1

You may also donate via PayPal or by sending a check. Details may be found here: https://riptrack.org/online-donations-begin-for-lne-611/

Second, if you would like to volunteer please reach out to us via the contact form. The locomotive is in Kutztown, PA which is an easy drive from NYC, Philly, Scranton and Harrisburg.

With your help, we are looking forward to a bright future for historic #611.
