DISASTER At the R&GN Railway!
Donation protected
Disaster at the Riverside and Great Northern Railway in Wisconsin Dells.
As you can see in the photos below the severe storms and torrential rainfall Tuesday night (8/28/2018) was very severe and caused a lot of damage to our railroad line.
We have a major wash out at milepost 21 leaving our tracks hanging in the air, and at milepost post 5 we've had a landslide and on shelf we have a slow-moving active Landslide going on that is threatening our entire operation.
This is a very major setback for the not for profit (501 C (3) )Preservation Society. Our preservation Society is dedicated to saving the building's, grounds, engines, rolling stock and right of way of the Sandley Light Railway Equipment Works of Wisconsin Dells.
The Sandley's started making these little steam engines and rolling stock by hand starting out in 1948 in Janesville Wisconsin, they moved here to the Dells in 1952 rebuilding their demonstration track and work buildings on an 1854 Railroad Bed built by the LaCross and Milwaukee Road.
These trains were sold all over the United States to amusement parks, zoos, and plantations.
Because of the recent torrential downpours and the severe damage to our railroad line we are in desperate need of funds. If you are able to assist us at all, donations would definitely be greatly appreciated.
