Sounds like the mayor is working on a deal to do something with the land, perhaps build yet another shopping center.

no, thats not going to happen, the land is already destined for the county.

That said, i'm more than a little mad. I went to that township meeting, (they even quoted me in the newspaper), but apparently, the railroad guys are in more trouble than just bringing in that locomotive. The next day, i read in the newspaper that they put it on what was Wawa's "easement" (Wawa is a northeastern convenience store/gas station, for you western folks), land that will one day be a parking lot for the station and its rails to trails path. According to the newspaper, (which is not always accurate), they were told that day the locomotive was brought in that it was Wawa's property, and that they had 48 hours to move it. because the historic trust couldn't, now they're getting sued by Wawa. The wawa already had fights with the Historic trust a couple years ago when the wawa tried to acquire the land (successfully) which was a former PRR yard that the historic trust wanted to expand on, so the Wawa has never been on good terms with the trust either.

While i personally think that wawa is being a pain (its on the very far edge of what might be considered wawa's territory), but they are within their right to complain. why didn't the Historic trust check these things before they placed the train? shady political dealings or not, property lines don't just change, that wawa has been there now for a few years.

They already know that the local government and the wawa have been trying to get rid of them, why would they do something like that and put themselves in a position to be obliterated?

If they can't figure something out, the county gets the train station and the land, and the trains go. Its looking like they are out of bargaining chips.
