The Railway Coastal Museum is opening for the summer this weekend.

This year, the museum has been loaned a pump car and speeder which will be exhibited in the platform area.

Trevor Croft and J.P. Coady who donated the equipment will be at the museum at 11:00 Saturday morning to talk about the artifacts.

The board put together a business plan that was acceptable to the city of St. John’s, and Chair Ron Penney is offering his thanks to the many people who have generously donated to the museum.

The provincial government also provided financial support as well as the city who agree to match donations of up to $10,000. Penney says they received donations in excess of that amount.
