Re: Use of Historic Properties in Sacramento Railyards

Dear Mayor Fargo and City Councilmembers:

The California State Park Rangers Association urges your support for use of the historic Erecting Shop and Boiler Shop in the Sacramento Railyards as a Railroad Technology Museum operated by California State Parks.

Such use would not only protect the cultural significance of these important resources, but would provide access to them and interpretation of them to local residents and to visitors from all over the world.

The California State Park Rangers Association is a professional organization of hundreds of State Park employees and retirees from all classifications within State Parks. We respectfully ask you to consider the protection of these historic resources and making them available to the public.

Sincerely,

ORIGINAL SIGNED BY

Gail Sevrens
President
California State Park Rangers Association
