The United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey is aiming to preserve two passenger cars that were used on the famous Blue Comet passenger train on the Central Railroad Of New Jersey. If the money isn't raised for the transportation cost part of railroading history could be lost.
Lionel's Blue Comet played an important role in model railroading! I hope we are able to come together to save the inspiration of that train!

"Through some gracious donations we have funding to move one of the cars!! Thank you for your support!
So now, our goal is to raise $20,000 for the movement of the second car and to begin stabilizing them. Once the cars are moved and secure, focus will begin on the preservation and restoration, but one step at a time. Time is of the essence with this, so please, donate here on GivingGrid and help us save and preserve these important pieces. If the goal is not met, all resources exhausted and the second car is unable to be saved, all funds raised will go towards the restoration of the one car moved. That is worst case scenario and I have high hopes that it will not come to that. "
