Fw: After an act of arson destroys historic site, McComb City Railroad Depot Museum picks up the pieces

[NW Mailing List]

What makes railroad stations favorite targets for arsonists? In my opinion any historic structures need to have sprinkler systems, burglar alarms, on site cameras and protective fencing if possible. I don't know why so many don't have some type of fire suppression system. If they don't because of an outdated preservation rule regarding the idea that when the structures were originally built, they didn't have sprinkler systems, then it is thoughtless. I don't know what the rules are.
Always report any suspicious activity you see around these structures. They're priceless.
All aboard?
