Sept 8, 2026 – First time Coach 9 rolls on its own wheels.

Meanwhile, prior to yesterday’s successful installation of the trucks (wheels) – see photo above – work continues on the end platforms of coach 9. Recently, the end railings have been painted.

A stove has also been installed, but has yet to be made operational. The crew is currently working on the Wood’s Safety Gates for each end platform.

Meanwhile we’re just $4600 shy of our $120,000 goal to “Finish Coach 9 to the Nines!” – thanks in part from a generous grant provided by the Amherst Railway Society! Thank you for your continued support of this project.
Thanks for being a part of the Coach 9 team and your continued support.
