Program:  This week's program was presented by Bob Moen with an update on the Charles City depot project and the American Passenger Train History Museum. 2025 was busy with painting and restoration of the train cars as well as progress inside the depot. APTHM was awarded $100,000 Community Catalyst Grant from the Iowa Economic Development Authority as matching funds for the building rehabilitation. Thanks to a partnership with the NIACC Building Trades Program, most of the framing for the new walls inside the building is now complete, along with the addition of a structure for the facility's power needs. Volunteers are also working on updating a storage building. Fundraising and volunteer support are ongoing to keep the project moving forward.Check out their vision and the latest project on their page American Passenger Train History Museum
