American Steam Railroad

Description

Preserving America's Railway Heritage — In 2005, a group of engineers, businessmen, and railroaders came together to start the American Steam Railroad Preservation Association. By aspiring to be a progressive leader in our industry, the American Steam Railroad will ensure steam locomotives and historic railway equipment will operate and be preserved for future generations. Since 2015, generous donors and our all-volunteer staff have given, raised or provided in labor value over $1.5 million towards our restoration projects.

In 2014, ASR surprised the railroad preservation industry by signing a multi-year lease for Reading Company steam locomotive No. 2100 and completing a 2,200-mile railroad move to Cleveland, Ohio. The historic locomotive is now undergoing a restoration to operating condition where upon completion, it will debut in striking red, white and blue colors as American Freedom Train No. 250.
