Alco-PA-1 Restoration

The Alco PA-1 diesel locomotives, particularly those used on Santa Fe, enjoy a very loyal following. The Museum of the American Railroad is proud to be the steward of one of a handful still in existence - and the only unit to be restored to its original Santa Fe appearance. In order to restore #59L and return it to its former grandeur, we need to cultivate stakeholders in the project nationwide. This is your opportunity to participate in the creation of something that only currently exists in photographs and legend. We are seeking your support through funding of this project and fulfilling needs for certain goods and services. The rail enthusiast community has an opportunity to take an active role in an exciting project that will celebrate the history of this locomotive and inspire future generations.

All cash and in-kind contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. To make a cash contribution, you may send a check to the Museum's mailing address: Museum of the American Railroad, 6455 Page Street, Frisco, Texas 75034.
