DONATE

PHASE 1:

ROD BRASSES

$15,000 GOAL

*To cancel recurring donations, please send an email to contactasr@americansteamrailroad.org with the subject line "Please cancel recurring donation".

With 2026 approaching and work on the boiler nearing completion, we’re seeking your help this giving season to kickstart the next phase of No. 250’s restoration!

Once we RAISE $15,000, we will be able to purchase and machine material for five new rod brasses, replacing those that are no longer suitable for service.

If just 150 people donated $100 each, we would reach this goal!
