Document Description
The project proposes to replace the wood supports for the air pressure tank located in the historic Roundhouse at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park to allow for the continued use of the air tank to aid in repairing and restoring locomotives. If the wooden supports fail, the footing for this air tank will shift, compromising the tank and damaging the compressed air plumbing.
