What is the story on the car inspectors house, that is a pretty major dismantling happening?

Wayne from Oz

[Paul Davenport]

It is being rebuilt with a real foundation. The informal word I heard back during C was that the second floor will include seasonal living quarters for a caretaker. Others are welcome to correct or expand.

I'd love to see the railroad finish out the entire house and open it up for rental. I'd use it every year!

And, if they're willing to do that, do it for Sublette as well. Then use the enormous profits that will be generated to rebuild the Section Houses at Big Horn, Toltec, and Cresco. All of those would be a railfan PARADISE.
