Despite efforts to save the historic building, the Union Pacific will be dismantling the 120-year old machine shop at their Sparks, NV rail ramp. Structural integrity and the need for expansion are the reasons for the demolition.
While losing a bit of history may be disappointing, the Union Pacific will be saving the bricks and making them available to the public. You can pick up yours between February 3rd and March 15th at Cottonwood Park.
