With the lighting, restoration has begun on the Aussie 1187 Car. The plans are to ready this car for passenger service in time for Steam-up 2001. Trackage on the mainline has been extended by about 1000 feet. We now have nearly a mile of mainline. The overhead will be extended at least part way on this extension.
Work continues on the landscaping around the property.
Many trees and a new lawn has been planted. Volunteers are also working on MUNI LRV 1213 by installing trolley poles so it can be operated. The mainline is not designed for pantograph operation, and 1213 at one time did operate with poles. In late May the museum will host the Western ARM meeting. ARM is the Association of Railway Museums.
