Re: Ogden Evicting Rail Preservation Groups?

Will,

Not sure this is of much help, from the RYPN:

The facts of the matter are that Dynamic Rail Preservation was formally evicted last month, and the Golden Spike Chapter R&LHS which occupies the Trainmen's Building on the north was asked to make a full inventory of the tools and materials they own for the restoration of D&RGW 223 under the assumption that at some point in the future they would have to remove them.

The facts of the matter also are that Ogden City presented three conceptual plans, which are described in the Desert Empire Project article, in a public meeting for input. Since that meeting those plans have not been made available online. All three plans detail the complete removal of the rail center, turning the Trainmen's Building into a restaurant and moving only a small portion of the collection to Tracks 1 and 2 on the platform.

Those are the facts relating to the equipment. Those of us who are concerned about the USRM collections want to ensure that Ogden City does not adopt any of those three conceptual plans until a promise is made to leave the rail center as it is.
