Okay, Milford, you wanted the train back this year, so we're going to make it happen again. The fundraising effort is in full swing, and we have received many generous donations, but additional support is needed. Please consider a contribution to the Milford Mile (

With a great group of volunteers, and some newly acquired track equipment, we are working hard to get new wood installed in the next 2 weeks. Ties are being delivered this week, with installation north from Milford over the next 2 weeks. How serious are we about rebuilding this stretch of railroad? Here's a few photos of some good people giving up several days a month and making absolutely no money at all to make this project work....

Thanks again to those who have supported us in the past and continue to help...we look forward to seeing everyone at the Milford Alive! event on September 23rd, 2017.
(And get in line early...all of last year's free tickets for the caboose hops were gobbled up quickly, with many good folks turned away; this year should be no different!)
