Sponsor a Spike

A century of steam is hard on the track. Your donation drives new iron into the line and keeps Old No. 9 rolling toward her next hundred years.

Every dollar goes to the track fund · Tax-deductible

Choose Your Sponsorship

$25 Sponsor a Spike We drive a new spike into the line in your honor, enter your name in the Depot Ledger, and mail you a certificate. $100 Sponsor a Tie A whole new tie beneath the rails — and your family name joins the brass plaque on Platform 1.

We'll collect your name for the ledger — and where to mail your certificate — at checkout.

Where Your Donation Goes

Seven miles of century-old track take a beating from weather, weight, and one very determined locomotive. Each season the volunteer track gang replaces worn ties and spikes by hand, the same way the line was built in 1926.

The Hollow Creek & Northern Railway is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run entirely by volunteers. Every sponsorship goes straight into the track fund — steel, timber, and the occasional pot of depot coffee for the gang that drives it all home.
