Flour-by-Rail Legacy Project

ISO: The Flour-by-Rail Legacy Project team has been looking for a 25-ft extension ladder for just about as long as we've been in the old boxcar business. If anyone has such a ladder they can donate, it could just be dropped off at the boxcar. 630 Ohio Street, Buffalo.

Let us know in the comments or via DM ahead of time is all we ask. Thank you to everybody out there, and watch for the leaves, they get slippery.

The Buffalo, USA Foundation is soliciting donation of a gently-used or ancient but fully-functional table saw for our efforts at restoring Buffalo Creek PS-1 boxcar No. 1424. Our specific aim is to cut new interior boards to replace missing or corroded plywood wall boards.

Separate of this, we are always looking for volunteers with this skill set that we can meet on site at Silo City for the work of cutting and installing the boards. You would have plenty of skilled support staff in this venture and make your mark on a cutting edge project in one of the more proactive revitalizations of our fair city.

Please comment below or shoot us a DM if you have any leads on a table saw or a skilled craftsman that can bring their own!
