We would like to thank all of our supporters for coming out for the Ride The Bloom excursion on October 5th, 2019. Proceeds from this successful excursion went to support Project3713 – the restoration of steam locomotive Boston & Maine #3713 – and the Ontario & Western Railway Historical Society, Inc’s Project 105 – the full rehabilitation of historic NYO&W General Electric 44-ton diesel locomotive #105. Both of these efforts are taking place at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, PA (a city where #105 ran in regular service)
A very special thank you goes to Jeff Pontius and Penn Valley Railroad, LLC for their generous donation to Project3713. Penn Valley’s beautifully restored passenger equipment provided our riders with a comfortable trip aboard vintage cars.
