The F40PH Preservation Society has been officially incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the next move will be to file with the IRS although this will be expensive according to the IRS http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1023.pdf although it looks like we can save money using Cyber Assistant when it becomes available.

I am planning to attend a meting of the Amherst Railway Society and pass out fliers for the F40PH Preservation Society. This is how I worded it

"The EMD F40PH played a huge part in American railroad history and set the standard for passenger locomotives of it’s time. But now they are becoming fewer and fewer as more fall to scrappers. It is the goal of the F40PH Preservation Society to preserve these historic locomotives for future generations to enjoy. In order for this project to become successful it needs people like you to help out and join. Together we can help raise awareness of this cause, start a 501(c)3, and raise funds to rescue these locomotives.

Do you have any input, suggestions or any other ideas? This flier might help bring volunteers into this origination that can help us get our 501(c)3 so I want to make a good impression.

The Tennessee Central Railway Museum had two Ex Amtrak F40PHs 258 and
375. 375 was known to be in working condition as of June 18, 2005 while 258 had suffered fire damage while in Amtrak service and was more or less for display. Unfortunately The Tennessee Central Railway Museum has recently sold these two locomotives to Metra where they will be re-built (most likely losing there Amtrak "charm" and stile, as well as some historic aspects). It is this organizations goals to save original F40PHs that were built in the "Amtrak Stile" to see these two previously preserved locomotives be bought and re-built is disheartening.
