FEC 253 Steam Locomotive Association

We are a group of volunteers that looks to save and restore vintage railway equipment. currently we are looking to secure funding for the last 0-8-0 left in existence the 253 ! the 253 was built by American locomotive company in 1924 and is the only 0-8-0 left in existence.


The 253 is located in Fort Perice Florida and is currently undergoing restoration. We hope to expand to the museum and its collection of histrionic railroad equipment and memorabilia. Currently we need not only funds but we need volunteers to help with actual restoration of the equipment.

If you are interested in volunteering or donating please come visit us at 1401 North 2nd Street, Fort Pierce, FL 34950. Currently we have scheduled and planed Saturdays for volunteers but also welcome volunteers all week long.
