Train Station coming back to Niles

Yesterday after a long time waiting, the Historic Niles Depot was brought back to it's original place in the downtown Niles area. It was quite a feat. It will sit on the other side of the railroad tracks till the first part of May when a bridge will be built over the tracks and it will be moved into the Niles Plaza area next to the refurbished freight building. Everyone in Niles is so excited to see this all coming together. The second picture shows PGE holding up the power lines for the depot to move under. The third is of a Southern Pacific commuter train going past. The Depot will be off limits while on the other side of the tracks. The railroad has made it clear that if people cross those tracks it may halt the whole move. After it's refurbished it will be the focal point of the plaza. We can hardly wait! Don't forget to read the post before this one and buy some tickets!
