Over $9,500 has been raised to-date to cover the costs of moving the Train Car to Martinez!  That includes donations made through GoFundMe plus checks mailed directly to the Martinez Historical Society or dropped off at the Martinez Museum. We came very close to our goal of $10,000.  So once again, the Historical Society would like to THANK YOU for your generous donations which have made it possible to keep the historic Vic Stewart Train Car here in Contra Costa County -- and more specifically in Martinez.  Your help was greatly appreciated!

Here is the unrestored Old Train Station in downtown Martinez where the Society hopes the train car can one day be placed.<a href="https://www.MartinezHistory.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/27200104_1516821678.2352_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> </a>These are two contrasting views of the Old Train Station.  The first photo was taken before 1915.  The second was taken 100 years later -- in 2015.  The building lost its second story in a 1940 fire.<a href="https://www.MartinezHistory.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/27200104_1516821719.4256_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> </a><a href="http://www.MartinezHistory.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Your donation will be received by the Martinez Historical Society.  The Martinez Museum is the Society's home.</a> <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/27200104_1516821758.9291_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />
