The Glenreagh Mountain Railway Incorporated needs members.
Membership fees, along with donations and grants, provide the funds we need to survive and to perform the work necessary to restore the line, buildings and equipment to operate a tourist railway. Also it entitles you to become involved with this work with others who have similar interests. This could involve work at Glenreagh Depot or at the Lowanna station area or along the line between. For those who have a working knowledge of, or an interest in, the Safety Management Systems for operating a railway you can work from your own home preparing the many documents required to operate. Of course you will need to have a computer with an internet connection. Others still may just wish to be a member and receive our news sheet and nothing more.
