Just a quick update on the Rail Yard Facility. We had the opportunity to travel back to Sactown via Amtrack (From SLC) for a week's visit. The newly realigned tracks and platforms were impressive, though it is a loooooong trip out and back from the platforms to the station (which is currently undergoing extensive remodeling). My camera was busted so I was unable to get picks of the broad concourse and nice platforms. They did have electric buggies that trundled folks to and from, but it would be an excellent chance to use a people mover to get passengers to and from the station. It was a challenge lugging two laptops, two CPAPs, pillows, carry-ons, etc the seemingly half-mile out to the platforms and back. It would be nice if they had trolly carts to use... We also had great views of the bridges put in for future street extensions into the Rail Yards, plus being able to get up close and personal with some of the older depot buildings.

Can't wait to return this winter!
