Sunday, March 20. 2016The first car in Barn 13 and 14
On Sunday, March 20th, the first car was moved into Barn 14 after receiving occupancy on Friday. The car was Grand Trunk Western 5316, a coach that was relocated from Barn 9. With the completion of Barns 13 and 14, the museum now has 3.07 miles of indoor track space! Two other cars were moved into Barn 14 as well, those were the Great Northern 70104 and the Bordens Milk Car 520. Over the coming weeks and months, many more hours of switching will occur to begin filling the new barns and rearranging many of the existing barns.

Congratulations to the Board of Directors, Officers, Executive Director and Members on this achievement.
Has any decision been reached on whether barns 13 and 14 will be accessible to the public?
