First-
I’m happy to report that we’ve finalized a storage track plan with NWP and the other stakeholders in the area and have begun construction.
Our facilities were part of a much larger development in this area involving other track work and the construction of a warehouse.
Working through the requirements has taken some time.
There is a sketch of our final storage track plan provided to give you an idea of what we will have for near term facilities.
Keep in mind that we continue to work on aspects of the site and as we complete additional items we will share them with you as soon as they are firm and we have permission.
The illustration also provides some details on construction, the scope of work and the timeline. We anticipate track completion early in the
first quarter of 2018.
Since the organization was founded, much has changed in the world of railroads, real estate, business and volunteerism. These changes have made our job and mission much harder than it was when the organization was founded. There are fewer opportunities to do what we do, fewer places to do it, and now it is much harder to find people to help. When presented with an opportunity like the one we have at NWP, we acted to ensure that we had a place to go and would be able to make best use of the opportunity at hand. What we do is neither easy nor guaranteed.
Sincerely,
David Varley
Vice President and Chief Mechanical Officer"
