<div>Hey Folks, at the last Friday's meeting the topic of the Southern Pacific railroad sign came up regarding a possible movement to a different location. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's my two cents on thinking about this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* People like signs - especially old, historical, signs</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* As a railroad club we should promote the railroad history of Alameda County</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Railroads that are/were in Alameda County are: Central Pacific, Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Western Pacific, Alameda Belt Line, Oakland Terminal, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Key Line, that Berkeley hills line (forget the name). </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Anyone has a list of all that ever existed? Focus on the major ones.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* We should be able to find a metal shop that can take computer drawings and cut to the shape needed - like the UP shield shape. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* We should spare no expensive in getting the best quality power coating, color match, paint job possible - a sign that will last the next 150 years or more.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regarding the existing Southern Pacific sign - I recommend that we don't move that. It has some corrosion already and if we move it, we could risk cracking the coating which will cause even more corrosion. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since we'll need permission to add anything to the exterior, perhaps we should decide what we want, how many, what size. We could even take a picture of the building and photoshop railroad emblems to scale and show that to them. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just some thoughts,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tony</div>
