Is there a new demolition program being carried out by BNSF that has
led to the destruction of this and Buda? This is a tremendous waste
for the town and an important landmark. Preservation grants could have
been used to preserve this building and perhaps move it to the
railroad park where they are now building a new station that will
house a gift shop.
