Eagle Scout Candidate 2023
Project : Granite Railway Inclined Plane
Hello! My name is Nicholas Bina-Rodriguez, and I am an Eagle Scout Candidate from Troop 42 Quincy, MA. One of the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout is to plan, develop, and give leadership for a service project. I will be revitalizing the Granite Railway Incline Plane in West Quincy. The Granite Railway Incline Plane is one of the very first railroads in the United States. It was crucial to the booming granite industry here in Quincy. Despite being a significant landmark to the city, it has unfortunately been neglected over the years and fallen into disrepair. the railway is on the National Historic Register and needs your help. Won't you please make a donation? I need all donations by April 15, as the project will be from April 18-20. Fund Me Address https://gofund.me/b7a10c5c
Thank you for your time and donation,
Nick
