Juniata Terminal Company is planning to operate a passenger excursion from Pittsburgh down the Monangahela Line and Waynesburg Branch to the PA/WV state line and return on Sunday July 28, 2013, to raise funds in support of preservation of ALTO Tower. This is planned as an all first class train of private cars; no coaches. Amtrak locomotive(s), not PRR 5711 & 5809, on the head end.
All private car owners and passengers on this special train are required to make a contribution of $500 (five hundred dollars) per person to a non-profit organization known as "Broad Way Historic Preservation Conservancy" that will be supporting the ALTO tower preservation efforts. That rather hefty tax-deductible contribution is over and above a fare (payable to individual private car owners selling space) in the $800 range for the day's trip.
I am sure High Iron Travel http://www.highirontravel.com will be selling space on business car CARITAS and other cars, just as I suspect Juniata Terminal Company will be selling space onboard their parlor-lounge car WARRIOR RIDGE. Dominion Rail Voyages http://www.dominionrailvoyages.com is selling space on their bedroom lounge MOUNT VERNON. I have not heard if Washington DC Chapter NRHS http://www.dcnrhs.org plans to participate with their heavyweight bedroom lounge DOVER HARBOR. Some private cars are expected to come in from Chicago on the Capitol Limited for the excursion.
