Subject: Seeking advice shelter for Railroad Cars
We are working with another non-profit that runs the Atchison Rail
Museum and are seeking some ideas, or how other places have already
solved similar problems.
The rail cars, including 1902 Steam Engine, several unique caboose
designs, dining and other cars are in an open air setting and beginning
to show deterioration - we know we have to do something soon otherwise
we will begin to lose these pieces of our railroad heritage.
Has anyone already taken on this problem - designed and built a cover
structure to keep railroad cars out of the weather?
Any advice on this or if you know places that have their rail cars
covered that I could seek out information from would be great.
Also any suggestions on someone who specializes in conserving railcars,
old fire equipment, etc.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
