From the Email InBox: Changes for the Good?

Pawww:

Flattened.

The City of Riverside, Gage Canal lifting stationoften seen off the north end (and below the cliff) of Grand Terrace Road is now flattened. This is actually within the City of Colton, a site of a future public park within that city, and had been the building of choice for many tagging events over past few years now. A project to pressurize the pipeline supplying water to the City of Riverside and orchards, and thus eliminating a need for it is nearing completion.

Now yet another object seen from our City of G.T. is gone.

Yet, in keeping with being a Green City, the Union Pacific who poperates as lessor over the track of the Riv. Co. Transportation Comm. going past the proposed high school, is now operating a Low emission locomotive. Number 2717 is one of those special units. It was working in combination with number 2716, and unrelated design beginning on Tuesday of this week.

As of Friday, four days later, it already looks to be of problems, for it was dead in train and had some thumping going on around the wheels. Although shiney right now, it has also been tagged by one of either G.T.'s finest or a visitor vandal.
