How can you support the mission of Ngpf?

The Narrow Gauge Preservation Foundation is a registered 501(c)6 organization. This means donations to the Foundation are fully tax-deductible. We suggest contacting your financial advisor to see what affect donations will have for your tax situation.

The Foundation's first priority is to establish a premier museum where the narrow gauge story can be told. We are preserving historically significant models, artwork, stories, published materials and photos with narrow gauge connections for future generations. The Foundation will preserve and exhibit narrow gauge materials as space and relevance permit. In some cases where the Board of Directors concurs, items donated to the NGPF may be disposed of. These items may be donated to another, appropriate group, or they may be sold and the funds received used for work of the NGPF.

Hard-cover books detailing the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and the Durango & Silverton Railroad are available from the NGPF. Proceeds from the sale are used to fund NGPF programs.

Cumbres & Toltec by Sam Furukawa features 237 dramatic photos of America's premier narrow gauge living museum. The book is the result of Sam Furukawa's longtime fascination with the C&TS. Hard cover, 176 pages, most in color. $49.95

Sam covers the line from Antonito to Chama, chasing regular operations and special trains. The magnificent scenery is highlighted in a series of spectacular pictures shot from a helicopter during the color peak of the 2006 fall foliage season. Cumbres & Toltec and Durango & Silverton are published by the Narrow Gauge Preservation Foundation.

D&SNG trains and locomotives, the people who run them, and the superb scenery they traverse are the subjects of the photographs in this book. The history of the line has been covered in many other volumes, so the photos here seek to portray this breathtaking railroad as it operates in the 21st Century. Hard cover, 176 pages, most in color. $49.95

Sam covers the D&SNG from the ground and by helicopter for a unique view of this much-photographed railroad. These are not-to-be-missed views found nowhere else!
