Can anyone tell us what this might be? It appears to be a metal tag that is marked with STL&IM RR and the date is 1856. It was found by a farmer plowing his field.

Tie Program - St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway - Jackson, Missouri

Update: Thursday, May 11 - Our superintendent of operations is in Ohio today making arrangements to bring home a Tie Inserter machine. This, along with some of the other recently purchased track equipment will help us get back on our feet quicker. Now all we need is to come up with some ties. You can help us by donating and buying a tie. http://slimrr.com/ties/index.html

Update: Tuesday, May 09 We are still out of service due to flood damage. But our Whistle Stop Depo is open for business with the gift store and deli. Stop by and help support us in any way you can. Thanks,

UPDATE: TUESDAY, MAY 2 - 11:00A.M. On track inspection yesterday, due to the extensive flooding, we found a badly damaged large section of track in a flooded low lying curve area. There are several other places that are under water and will need to be inspected and we expect will need repairs before we can run again. It is likely we will have to hire an outside contractor to do the repairs due to the extent of the damage. We will probably be down at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the schedule of who we get to do the work. We will keep you up-to-date on progress and details about scheduling as we move forward. Activities scheduled at our Whistle Stop Depot are still on schedule such as the Blue Grass Jam Session this Saturday evening.

This young man and his family have been passengers on our train. He needs a bone marrow transplant and you might be the one who can give it. Watch the video to see how you can help.
