Will the Texas State Railroad be sunk?

It may be up to you!!!

I claim to be no expert on the subject but it has come to my attention that we may be about to lose the Texas State Railroad if action isn't taken. Seems a new reservoir is in the offing and it could put an end to the railroad. The placement of the Fastrill Reservoir will force the Texas State Railroad to build bridges that cannot be afforded or close. Not something I would like to see.

The link below gives further information and helps you take action on this, if such is your desire. As said, I am no expert and have no suggestions as to better placement of this reservoir (or even if it is needed). I just know that I do not want to risk loosing the Texas State Railroad. If you feel as I do, please take a few minutes to read the the information and take action as you see fit.

Thanks and happy camping!

Save the Texas State Railroad

Done!

I guess I should hurry and ride it just in case. Heck it is in my backyard?

Cool Re: Will the Texas State Railroad be sunk?

I signed this several months ago. (One of only 17 signatures!) I find it odd that information on the "flooding" can NOT be found on the Friends of the Texas State Railroad's web site nor is any info found at the Palestine Railroad depot.

Interesting question....the good and bad of the internet. You never can be sure what is true or false? Not saying it isn't????? Guess we will find out one day

Well, the web site has recently been updated, so maybe this is really happening.
