GLADSTONE — The Gladstone Michigan Soo Line Steam Engine #730 Authority will hold its regular monthly meeting on October 14 at 4:30 p.m. at 819 Delta Ave. Solid Rock Church.

Planning and preparation of the train site for the upcoming holiday/Christmas season with lights and festive decorations.

Recap of the relocation of the Downtown/ Museum location. All artifacts were put in safe storage due to the unavailability of the previous location. The group is encouraging input from the public on ideas for a more expansive permanent location for the Soo Line Museum.

Soo Line historical artifacts are still being accepted by donation or consignment. You can call Authority President John Pickard for details. 906-241-0888. Soo Line #730 Train Memorabilia continues to be available also.

New members are encouraged to join. All community members are welcome to attend and share their historical stories and photos about the #730 Steam Engine and not forget our past.
