Two organizations come to mind:

Then Danbury (CT) Railway Museum. They are connected to Metro North, and
already have some ex-PC equipment. (Some painted NH, some painted PC.) They
also store equipment for other organizations.

The Central NY Chapter of NRHS, in Syracuse, NY. They are located at the NY
State Fairgrounds, and have some ex-PC equipment in their collection. (A
GG-1 and a NYC bay window caboose.) They are connected to CSX.

Both organizations are prosperous, and stable.
