Why was the Short Line out of steam?

The Vulcan 0-4-0 Locomotive required a new boiler. Work on the restoration began in Spring 2010 and was completed in June 2011. While the Short Line is now back on the rails, the new boiler is not yet paid for, so donations through the purchase of railway ties are still gratefully accepted.

You can help! Fundraising efforts are underway to raise the needed $150,000 to cover the costs of having a new, custom built boiler made and installed. Fundraising Progress October 31, 2011: $68,373.26
