The Amarillo Railroad Museum, Inc. is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Texas Panhandle, illustrating it through the railroads that traversed it, settled it, and are still the lifeblood of it. The mission of the ARM is simple: to make history come alive through railroad artifact preservation, construction of an historically accurate model railroad of the Santa Fe from Canadian, Texas, through to Clovis, New Mexico, and oral history.

Your donation will directly support the Museum in its efforts to keep this historic and interesting knowledge from slipping into the dust. Literally dozens of railroad employees die each year with their story untold - history of operations, tales of railroading, and missives of life on the prairie lost forever. Your small donation will help support the oral history project.

Or, if that is not of interest to you, consider this: the ARM has the only complete helium car in a museum today, and that car requires money for maintenance and research. Your donation supports that worthy asset - as well as the Rock Island boxcar presently awaiting restoration at Progress Rail Services, or the BN/ATSF caboose still in Washington State, or the General Electric or Alco switchers that have been promised to the ARM, or the Sid Richardson carbon black car also promised to the ARM. These are significant preservation efforts, and it takes money. Your donation - as small as $5 - means a great deal to the ARM.

Or how about the 4,000 square foot model railroad now under design and construction in our brand new facility? Want to help make this a reality? Your donation helps.

The Amarillo Railroad Museum, Inc. is a non-profit Texas corporation granted 501(C)3 "educational charity" status by the Internal Revenue Service. Your donation is completely tax deductible, and you will receive not only a receipt for  your donation - no matter how small or large, but the heart felt "Thank You!" from each of the members now striving to make the ARM a wonderful place for the future.

Can we count on you to donate today? Or, better - how about a monthly debit to your credit card? Do you have railroad related items that need to be shown to the world? We would LOVE to talk to you! Do you have an automobile, airplane, or other asset you think would be better served by donation to a worthy cause? The ARM is your charity of choice. We can assist you with small monetary donations, asset donations, and estate planning (such as charitable remainder trusts that provide you with significant tax advantages).
