Old Depot Museum outlines rail plans and hopes
Franklin County Historical Society moves to revive the Old Depot Museum with a railroad focus. A public hearing gathered input as the city works with Burlington Northern Santa Fe on a trail extension and right of way. Proposed changes include a west entrance, Victorian fencing, kiosk, a garden railroad, seating, and a trail pay station. The plan envisions four to five rail cars, with attempts to source cars from Midland Railroad and Smoky Valley Railroad.
