We lookforward to this project not only helping usattract and retain top-tier talent, but alsoshowcasing our strengths as a partner in thecommunities we serve.”

By FRED SWIFTThe Indiana Transportation Museum of Noblesville,

the only user of the former NickelPlate rail line through HamiltonCounty, has been unable to use therailroad for the past three months dueto  a complaint to the FederalRailway Administration. The HoosierHeritage Port Authority, owner of therail line, suspended themuseum's permit in March when sev-en former volunteers reported allegedsafety issues and poor business prac-tices.

The transportation museum, headquartered at ForestPark, operates  the popular Fair Train during the IndianaState Fair in August, and the Polar Bear Express later in theyear. These excursion trains will not be able to run unlessthe museum can regain permission to use the railroad.

President of the train museum Jeffrey Kehler wrote aletter on June 13 to "customers, volunteers and stakehold-ers" saying the federal authorities found no problems withthe operation. The port authority board will likely have aspecial meeting by the end of this month, and presumablyconsider whether to allow the train buffs to start using thetracks again.

The seven ex-volunteers at the train museum weredischarged from their duties presumably for their trouble-making. Their names have not been released.

The railroad museum has operated locally for morethan 50 years. It owns numerous rail cars and enginesincluding antique interurban cars and a prized and restoredsteam engine. The organization's excursion programs areconsidered a tourist attraction for the county. The NickelPlate line which runs through downtown Noblesville nowcarries no other train traffic.

The organization which relies largely on volunteerlabor, operates on gifts, contributions and revenue from theFair Train and Polar Bear Express and several other railoutings including a "train to dinner," and a pumpkin patchtrip for youngsters during the warm weather months. Theoverall operation is maintained by about 120 trained volun-teers, according to Kehler..
