Hello!
Today here is what I plan to discuss and give my opinion on public rail society's. There are many rail societies in operation all over the United States and the world today. Most of these are for public enjoyment, or to preserve history. Many are called "museums". I plan to quickly outline why it is important to support them and to talk a little about my own local museum.
There are different types of societies, but quite a few are considered nonprofit. This means that all money goes into the continuation of the museum. Anything a museum must pay for, comes from this, this includes electric, water, sewer, fuel, and normal supplies, whether it be tools, or other cleaning items. The list is endless. And most museums are not major places. they are small little places doing what they can to provide a family experience for their communities.
My Local club runs a few events a year. We run two quarter scale trains, a real running coal burning steam train and a small diesel locomotive. Our club only takes in 2 dollars per person. And while this seems like a lot, it doesn't come close to supporting our club. I am afraid this is the same way all around. If these places fall, then who will help keep these historic items alive?
So I ask support your local community rail society. A
