Donations
We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization. All donations from material such as railroad ties, equipment, tools, historical railroad related items and money are tax-deductible.
Please support our Annual Fundraiser
Two years ago, we reorganized after a long decline. Our goal is to build Michigan’s railway museum on this unique railroad. Even with trains running full, we have a lot of catching up to do.
This year, we are fundraising for two projects: the Museum Building and the Passenger Coaches. You can also give to our General Fund, which helps keep the lights on.
