Why, is it in the way of something? Why doesn’t HRC tear down the old theater too!
GREED! Ask Charles Hurowitz why its going away, and the stockholders who sold their shares…. GREED!Good news it will
be loved as dearly in Mill Valley!
I used to play on that thing as a kid and I’m getting up there in age,why are they taking it.ive stopped so my kid can play on it. What a shame. Man it’s looking like everything is getting f upped in this county!!!!
Well my opinion is, if we want tourism in our county. We would be fools to let the train go. It should be in a local town. 🚂. Keep the historical value Humboldt alive. I grew up playing on that train too. Sad times.
It will be quite a site to see it going down the highway. 👁
more tourist means more protesters to resource extraction companies.
I’ll be sorry to see it go! I didn’t realize they were so hard up for $$$$$$$$. The steam donkey was invented up here and Scotia probably wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for those two machines! SCREW Mill Valley!
