Canadian National Railways recognized the
historic significance of 6218 when it issued this train order for the
locomotive�s final excursion trip, and again by donating it as a memorial
in Fort Erie.� Will you recognize its
historic value as well and help support its preservation?
CN 6218 was last
restored in the nineteen-eighties.�
Since then it has been on display, but exposed to the elements.� Thirty years outside has caused severe
deterioration which will eventually destroy the locomotive.� Estimates of the cost to preserve the locomotive
for the future range as high as $400,000!�
This seems like an enormous amount of money, but it breaks down into many small
donations.
There are three ways you can help preserve 6218.�
