Matching funds to help in the rebuilding of the RGS' most famous steam locomotive - #20 - have become available, up to $40,000. To get those funds, we have to help match it.
Details here (and part of their announcement is below) - this is part of a continuing rebuild of RGS #20.
I have links to a number of updates & photos of the ongoing work in my RGS Remaining Equipment page, here:

All Aboard!
Throughout the history of our great state, we've always been able to
accomplish great things together. And today, we ask you to come
alongside and help us preserve one of Colorado's grand narrow-gauge
locomotives and put Rio Grande Southern No. 20 back into service.
Once restored, thousands of guests will have the distinct privilege of
riding behind this magnificent Iron Horse right here at Colorado
Railroad Museum. We want you to be among the first to hear, "all
aboard."
New Matching Grant of $40,000.
We are delighted to
announce that the Colorado Railroad Museum has identified matching funds
of $40,000 dedicated to the final stage of restoration. That means your
gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $40,000
Please
join us in the final stages of restoring No. 20, and take pride and
satisfaction in what we hope will be your generous donation toward this
gold nugget in Colorado railroad history. We've created a number of
unique opportunities through which your financial support can be
recognized and celebrated.
