Help Put the Short Line Child's drawing of a steam train with white numbers "101" Back on Track!

 

We are very sorry to report that the WDM Short Line 101 was not able to run this past summer.

It would have been its 31st season, but the Vulcan 0-4-0 Locomotive requires a new boiler before it can again thrill young and old with the sounds and smells of steam.

You can help! Fundraising efforts are underway to raise the needed $100,000 to have a new, custom built boiler made and installed.

Fundraising progress, marked on a cartoon train. Current Amount: $10,000
