They're raising funds in order to open this railway as a visitor attraction. You can help by sponsoring a sleeper

The benefits of your sponsorship to you -

Quote
^Sponsorship of a dedicated Mail Rail Sleeper
^A certificate of Mail Rail Sleeper Sponsorship
^Two complimentary tickets to ride Mail Rail before it is open to the public
^Exclusive Mail Rail postcards so you can let your friends and family know all about your Sleeper Sponsorship
^An invitation to join a unique ^Walk the Rails^ event in order to experience the tunnels on foot, with the opportunity to visit your sleeper

For that price, I would expect a sleeper in an espionage cell. Can I sponsor a nail?
