40,000 donor goal
Our goal is to raise $40,000 to allow us bring #2110 back into operation.
Southern Pacific Railroad 72-foot coach #2110 was built by Pullman Company in January 1924 and was used in commuter service on the San Francisco Peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose until it’s retirement in February 1969 and donation to the City of Folsom in 1970.
Our mechanical department staff as well as various regional railroad preservation experts have evaluated SP 2110’s cosmetic and mechanical condition and have found it to be an excellent candidate for restoration to passenger service. It will require a few minor repairs to return it to operating condition, but it is otherwise in excellent shape with no major defects.
The car has capacity for 90 seated passengers, so adding it to our excursion trainset will nearly triple our current capacity and allow us to raise significantly more revenue from ridership donations to fund our operations and continue developing our excursion service.
