Yorkville resident George Wederich Jr., 16, a Boy Scout in Troop 40, wants to build a 12 x 24 railroad station platform pavilion this summer for the Prairie State Railroad Club located in Plowman’s Park, Big Rock, as his Eagle Scout project. A member of the Prairie State Railroad Club, he and other members and model train afficionados participated in a fundraiser train show at the Yorkville American Legion Post 489 hall at 9054 E. Route 34 in April to raise money for his project. He estimates he will need $7,000 for the project, and his father, Wally Wederich. says George is well on his way to achieving his goal after the Yorkville event. “It was a huge success,” Wally said. George, who has been a model train enthusiast since he was a toddler and says that both his father and grandfather share his love for the trains, is hosting a community open house at the Club in Big Rock on June 11. Anyone who would like to donate to the project should go to prairiestaterr.com George Jr. with his father, Wally Wederick.
