Re: Coker's pipe dream

Bret. You are right in that it is worthy of consideration, and perhaps put up high on the list of projects, both to save a historic structure of our railroad, but also be able to serve as a more cost effective, educational/maintenance, rebuilding headquarters.
Located in town with proper voltage electrical, industrial water and fire protection, this building, which I believe served as the car house from at least 1911, until the roundhouse was removed, as the machine shop/locomotive, would serve wonderfully in that capacity.
This is a future project that needs to be considered when the bod goes into a goal setting session next month.
It should be saved.

BTW, even if your not on the crew, we could really use your help next weekend laying rail. We are better than half way there. Just another 5 or so days. Smile
