The Museum Railway Association has received a 5000 euro grant to make the rail laying project starting in October. If the weather stays warm the aim is to have the track in operation condition all the way to the Sugar Factory by end of November this year. After this the aim is to collect the old Jokioinen railway era rails and transport them to Humppila rail storage to be used as spare rails and rails for sidings.

Also this autumn the aim is to cut the brush next to the track.
