Exciting News! A coalition of donors, filled with the Holiday Spirit, has offered us a deal to move the frame repair project ahead: a matching funds donation! They will match not 1:1, not 2:1, but 7:1 up to a thousand dollars donated! That’s right, for every dollar donated to Midwest and the 4070 now, it will be matched by seven dollars! A ONE DOLLAR donation will be matched by seven to become EIGHT, a FIVE DOLLAR donation is matched by seven to become FORTY DOLLARS! Your donation has never gone farther! No donation is too small to make an impact on the future of 4070!

Not all work on a steam locomotive involves fire and smoke. Times have changed, and these days the inspectors prefer digital records to paper. Volunteer Nick Resar is seen here hard at work digitizing GTW 4070’s boiler ultrasound data.
