The railway travelling development plan prepaired by the Museum railway Associations is going forward. The municipal board of Jokioinen voted for the plan. Now the aim is to complete the plans so Jokioinen could ask for bids for the project.
Jokioinen is seeking for 850 000 Finnish marks of EU money to develop the museum railway related tourism. The total budget of the project is 1.7 million marks. The Tavastia regional board has accepted the project.
The part of Jokioinen municipality is 250 000 marks and of Humppila municipality 100 000 marks in years 2001 - 2003.
The museum railway is one of the two important travel destinations in Jokioinen, this is the reason the municipality is taking care of the project. The main object of the project is to build a new workshop to service and restore the rolling stock of the railway.
