Group: This is to provide a potentially juicy Christmas
present to all PC and NYC fans.
We are currently working with Rail Tours Inc (Jim Thorpe, PA)
to paint their recently acquired U30B to it's as-delivered NYC paint
scheme. We will leave it in that livery for a month or so. It will
then wear the FULL Penn Central paint scheme for a couple of months before
finally being painted into a L&NE inspired corporate scheme. The
painting will be done through the newly formed group "Northeast Railroads
Historical Society, INC" ( a non-profit historical society). We will be
soliciting donations to assist with the restoration. Anyone interested in
contributing funds or time may contact me off-list at kgjr1554@earthlink.net for more
info. I will forward all requests to the president of the society.
We are still developing various donation levels with appropriate
rewards.

Striving to keep the Penn Central name alive
so that future generations will know the name
of a great railroad.
