I don't agree with the ideas promulgated above, either handling a boxcar in the regular train or parking a display car on the mill siding. Here's why: in the first situation, the car would obstruct the view of passengers no matter which end of the train it is handled on, and in the second case, the car would have no context to anything sitting there in the middle of nowhere at Top of the Mountain. And with the new schedule (which I think is great), it can't be spotted at Alna Center since the siding is needed to allow the railcar and passenger train to pass. The job of the train crew at Top of the Mountain is to explain that remote location's original purpose, our plans for the future, and our intent to continue building the railway north.
In my opinion, it makes better sense to park the car in front of the shop, with various displays inside, including a display of Less than Carload Lots of freight. Moving the display cases currently in the freight house into the boxcar would free up additional floor space in the freight house for our growing retail activities and would also provide for a dedicated museum space. Having this museum, with interesting displays, photos and artifacts, would provide an additional activity for visitors while they are awaiting the departure of the next train. With the boxcar close to the shop, providing electrical power for focused lighting and perhaps a fan or two to keep air circulating would not be a problem.
