We are currently seeking a notice or brochure holder, like the one seen below. As part of the restoration, we are planning on reinstalling 6 of the holders within car 2651, as may be seen in the photo on the right. So far, we have been able to collect 5 of them. If you have one that you wish to donate to the project, please contact Tony Hall at (732) 388-0369.
