The event also served to launch fundraising for the next phase of rebuilding to keep the Hudson in operable condition. Maintaining a mainline steam locomotive is a huge task, and the work ahead immense. But it can be done and will be tackled in a progressive series of steps. Many are asking what’s next, and the most immediate answer is to bring a steam locomotive expert here and go through the work needed with out team and Transport Canada. The goal is to define a work plan and budget for the next phases and to develop an outlook to completion. To all who came on June 27 and helped—a hearty thank you. The Royal Hudson Fund is once again open for donations and building to allow these important next steps to happen. Seeing the Royal Hudson operate is an incredible experience. It is up to us to make sure that others get this opportunity—so let’s get to work.

The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on AMTRAK PAINT SCHEMES Amtrak for many more years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

BACKGROUND DOT is required to administer a rail passenger route development program funded from a transportation fund continuing appropriation (SEG) and a general fund-supported, general obligation bonding appropriation (BR). From these sources, DOT may fund capital costs related to Amtrak service extension routes (the Hiawatha service, for example) or other rail service routes between the cities of Milwaukee and Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay, Milwaukee and Chicago, Madison and Eau Claire, and Madison and La Crosse. Under the program, DOT is not allowed to use any bond proceeds unless the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) approves the use of the proceeds and, with respect to any allowed passenger route development project, the Department submits evidence to JFC that Amtrak, or the applicable railroad, has agreed to provide rail passenger service on that route.
