According to sources in NW Washington, BNSF is expanding their track near the border with Canada. This project will required the removal or demolition of the former Great Northern Blaine Railroad Station, still standing after a long career. A proposal has been put on the table to move this station to a marina nearby, thus giving new life to the building that ushered thousands to their trains in the early days. Project cost: an estaimated $500 - $600,000. For more information on this opportunity visit Oil-Electric's blog post that expands on the linked article from Blaine.
Thanks Robert, for alerting the railfan community to this opportunity!
