Video Description

Last November, I announced that the Railway Museum in Miami, Manitoba succeeded in acquiring, excavating, and relocating an authentic 1960s Fallout Reporting Post (FRP) from the Nuclear Detonation and Fallout Reporting System (NDFRS). This summer, the Museum staff and I succeeded in making a great amount of progress in restoring and preparing the FRP for public display; the exhibit is on track to open in early summer 2025.
