Climax
Restoration Project Work Sessions
You might think that you do not possess any of the
fine skills that are necessary to do locomotive work. Not true. Much of
the work just involves painting, wire brush-ing, and nuts and bolts
assembly. This is an opportunity for you to be involved and be part of
this historic project. All of your lodging, and meals are provided and
the accommodation's are in typical Company house living style.
All volunteers must be current MSR&LHA members.
A Schedule of the work weekends is below
