Thanks all! The biggest hurdle currently is trying to find a suitable trailer that won't break the bank. Unfortunately it needs a 6' wide minimum trailer which eliminates all of the affordable 5' wide trailers.

Looking good!
Get on Facebook marketplace and craigslist, there's always someone who started a project and needed a trailer, or stopped hauling things, and their wife wants it out of the yard or garage..

There is a national organization that does excursions on various railroads. But for more day to day there's a rail trail a couple hours north that has the rails still in place. A local speeder club maintains the tracks and has authorization to run on it at any time. Here's a video from last year's open house there:

Are you going to put the original railroad markings back on it as part of its restoration?

I'll put the RR markings on if I can find them. Unfortunately the car # is all but flaked off. I've reached out to the Canadian Pacific Historical Society to see if they have any archival photos. The horns will go on once I get the compressor and tank.
