N&W HOLLINS COLLEGE MOVE AND RESTORATION

[NW Modeling List]

Happy Holidays!


You may have seen this post on Facebook about the former N&W sleeper from the 1970s and 80s. 


I’m not part of the group but just passing along their request for donations toward moving and restoring the car to its N&W self.

I can't stress how important your donations are at this point. With the fact that our requests for a donated or discounted move on NS were denied, and the fact that we have to move the car to interchange before the storage fees kick in on February 18th, every mile adopted is extremely important. Thank you for supporting our campaign to save the Hollins College!

IMPORTANT HOLLINS COLLEGE UPDATE 

We will be traveling to New Jersey on January 19th to officially purchase the Hollins College.

If it isn’t, storage fees of $750 per month will be charged. This means the car must reach interchange by February 18th.

We’ve raised $4,822.11, leaving $8,339.89 to go — and just 77 days to raise it.

Our 200-mile match is almost halfway met, with 95 miles adopted and eligible to be doubled. In total, 351 of the 968 miles have been adopted.

NOW is the moment to step up and support our Adopt-A-Mile campaign — just $14.51 per mile brings us closer to getting the Hollins College on the move.

Let’s bring this historic car home and breathe new life into a piece of Norfolk and Western history that’s been silent for over 25 years.
