Also curious what their intentios are for the old machine shop building, now adjacent to the Roundhouse Apartments (formerly the site of the roundhouse), and surrounded by if you can beleive it, urban sprawl. And, while were at it, what's the strucutral condition of the coaling tower? Flimsies hkading@rypn.org |

I don't think that they have any plans for the engine right now. Probably will let it sit until someone comes up with a plan. As for the rather impressive coaling tower, it still stands over the tracks & while it doesn't look like it did when it was new, looks safe for now. |
