NKP 211 Club

ELDCPS Passenger Club

The purpose of this club is to create ongoing financial support for The Lake Cities Project. The recreation and restoration of a 1960s Erie Lackawanna through-passenger train is a costly task. Just think of the benefits while enjoying a slice of pie and a beverage as you travel through the beautiful Pocono Mountains.

This club requires an annual membership.

Funds raised from this campaign will be used for moving, maintenance, minor restoration and repairs, and for insurance on the collection. Upon payment of your first annual membership, you will receive the gift associated with your level along with the respective benefits. Your support is greatly appreciated and we look forward to dining with you on the rails.
