NRHS Grant for New Orleans Public Svc. 850
Our museum has been awarded a grant of $4,800 by the National Railway
Historical Society (NRHS) for the completion of New Orleans Public Service
car 850. The NRHS Railway Heritage Grants program supports worthy
projects throughout the railway preservation field. We were
selected as one of 12 awardees from a pool of nearly 60 applicants.
With this grant, combined with the previous contributions from our
membership, we now have sufficient funding to complete work on the
car and make it usable to carry visitors. Completion of the project
is scheduled for July 2001.
Our sincere thanks go to the NRHS and to our members for their support.
