PHOENIX DARE - STEAM LOCOMOTIVE CHALLENGE & CHALLENGE COINS
Ensuring the continued operation of our three National Historic Landmark steam locomotives is a very costly, herculean challenge; one that we can accomplish!
Overcoming this extraordinary, herculean challenge will mean extraordinary, herculean financial help; over and above membership contributions.
To encourage this extraordinary, herculean financial help, we have created three Challenge Coins, one for each locomotive #93, #81 and #40.
The Challenge Coins are only available to people who make an extraordinary, herculean donation above their membership contribution. The minimum donation levels to receive the coins are: $50+ for the Locomotive 93 coin, $100+ Locomotive 93 and 81 coins, $500+ for the Locomotive 93, 81 and 40 coins!
TRACK DONATIONS - SUPPORT TRACK
It's hard to run a railroad without track. We maintain an incredible 30 miles of track and it is expensive! The repair shown in the photo needed two new switch ties, 32 new spikes, 4 new nuts.
It still needs ballast and tamping. Cost of the repair, is about $1,530 when it is all said and done. And this is a small repair job of just two ties!
Track donations help keep the railroad running and on track!
Dollars for Dirt & DJ
World famous Dirt unfortunately passed away last January. DJ (Dirt Junior) has big paws to fill. DJ's home is the Nevada Northern Ry. engine house.
Dollars for Dirt helps to pay for support of DJ at his home at the railroad's shop building.
