Held monthly meetings for our Members and Guests with refreshments provided. Meetings are conducted both In Person and are also available On Line. Each meeting includes a program on railroad history. We continue to publish and mail our monthly newsletter, The Trainmaster. The publication includes articles on railroad history. Our archive includes all issues of The Trainmaster starting in 1956. These are searchable on our public website www.pnwc-nrhs.org, and can be very helpful when doing research on railroad history. 0 14882 Maintained our Lending Library and Archive. Our volunteers continued work on installation of heavy duty pallet racking to replace the existing shelving. The new shelving will increase our storage capacity and will provide easier access for staff and researchers. The project will also remove painted wooden shelving. These materials, such as plywood or particle board, can emit fumes that are harmful for long term storage of paper materials. The project is replacing the existing shelving with metal pallet racking. The aisles are being made wide enough to allow use of a rolling step ladder, allowing safe and ready access to the higher shelves. Our volunteers are also working on specification and procurement of new HVAC equipment that will improve the stability of the temperature and humidity. We have received permission from our Landlord to install the condensing unit outside of the building. Having an environment where the temperature and humidity are controlled will aid in the long term storage of paper documents. We are also working on procurement of equipment to digitize paper records. Being able to scan books and flat paper drawings will improve our ability to catalog and index paper materials. There are several thousand drawings and maps in our collection. The ability to create digital copies will increase our options to make records searchable and viewable on line. 0 13558 Our volunteer staff performed necessary repairs and maintenance on our railway rolling stock. This work is performed in accordance with Federal Railway Administration (FRA) regulations to ensure our railcars used to haul passengers are safe. We have volunteers who have received classroom and hands on training and have been tested and are Certified to perform test and repair of the air brake equipment on railcars. The equipment used for testing of the air brakes is also Certified. The work these volunteers do is all in accordance with FRA rules and regulations. These passenger railcars are used as part of the Holiday Express Train, operated by the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation. The Holiday Express Train is pulled by a steam locomotive, and runs between Black Friday and New Years Day. The Holiday Express Train is a major event that sells out every year. There were over 15,000 passengers who rode on the Holiday Express Train. Many of these passengers are young people who have never been on a train before. Our volunteers provide staff for the train, as well as mechanical support while the train is in operation. Our passenger railcars are heated using steam from the steam locomotive used to pull the train. All of the equipment used for the steam heat, including the automatic control equipment is original. Our approach to the steam heating equipment has been to understand what the original designers had intended, rather than just replace the equipment with current technology. Even though much of the heat control equipment is more than 75 years old, it still works as designed and maintains the car interiors at a temperature that is comfortable for passengers. 0 9347 37787 Mark Reynolds President 10 0 0 0 George Hickok Vice President 10 0 0 0 Keith Fleschner Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Lila Stephens Secretary 10 0 0 0 Phil Barney Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Ron McCoy Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Bob Jackson Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Pete Rodabaugh Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Dennis Seacat Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Jim Hokinson Director at Large 1 0 0 0 Ed Berntsen National Representative 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OR Keith Fleschner 800 NW 6 Ave Rm 1 Portland OR 972093794 5035169272 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 108545 43912 26790 14542 12596 206385 6994 4667 1451 0 1241 14353 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 115539 48579 28241 14542 13837 220738 0 0 0 0 0 0 95442 14000 10000 10000 10000 139442 95442 14000 10000 10000 10000 139442 81296 10 641 562 559 1220 2992 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 641 562 559 1220 2992 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 115549 49220 28803 15101 15057 223730 0.36337 0.41195 0.01337 0.03393 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Description;Amount^Returned goods;310|Rent refunded;2427|Internal transfers;10500|Gains Unrealized;42787^Total;56024^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Bank Service Charges;286|Meeting room rent;100|Rolling Stock repairs;4758|Telephone;889|Insurnce;3101|Refreshments for meetings;486|Outreach;2181|PO Box rent;176|Library and Archive;8276|Loss Unrealized;9977|Taxes and Fees;382|Internal Transfers;10500|Membership Dues returned;20|Interest Entry correction;38|Donation returned See Schedule B Part 1 entry a 2;6000^Total;47170^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^FY 2022 Items cleared in 2023;-1292|FY 2023 Items Not cleared in 2023;12344|Rounding Error;1^Total;11053^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Rolling Stock - These are vintage railcars, fully depreciated and listed at appraised value.
