This post is intended to be amusing and loaded with nonsense
Personal I love the idea of starting from scratch with a new modern facility at the saw mill property. You could purchase enough property to create nearly any size building & repair facility with no infringement to the remains of the pizza shaped round house.
Now that 3 or 4 of the K-36’s have had nearly a million dollars each in repairs done to them. They will be good to go for the time required for the states to commit to this much needed expenditure. The rider ship may also grow another 200% or so in the next few years so that the rail road could help with paying for it.
The track projects are coming along well enough that there is little worry about acquiring moneys needed to keep the row in good or improved state.
The current shop facility could be used as an interpretive center & museum to help explain to the common public why a round house should be shaped like the remains of last nights dinner. The rest of us already have a firm understanding of this. The high walls of the current shop can hold hundreds of pictures taken of the remaining stalls of the pizza house and the ground around them. We could call it the “Tombstone Pizza Interpretive Center”. This center would make sure the general public understands that long ago the pizza had more slices.
All joking aside, I worry about the states dropping the investments already made to the rail road to start from scratch with yet another shop. The public may see this as yet another bridge to no where. Bill Richardson is running for president, can he afford the voters questioning the expense of pizza interpretation? He has already closed some of the
direct connection with his office and the railroads affairs.
If any body has an incredible amount of money to invest with little or no return This 3rd shop is just around the corner and all is well. If not…………..
