In an update from Union Pacific on removal of the collapsed building between the Core Trail and 13th Street… A spokesman said Wednesday, “Union Pacific continues to share the community’s desire to safely demolish the building as soon as possible, but the landfill is not yet accepting debris. We will get to work as soon as conditions change.”
We have been told from the county that there may be asbestos and they’re checking to find out where it can safely be taken. That building collapsed in March of 2023. Union Pacific received a Notice of Violation in July last year. We will continue to follow up.
As for the railroad ties that were replaced, that now line the tracks from Milner to Phippsburg, Union Pacific spokesperson Mike Jaixen says collection work is still on schedule for this month.

The Jackson County producer who lost a calf to wolves Sunday said he knew it was coming to his ranch, and all the ranchers are losing sleep over it.
“It’s more personal than what people think, and I think that is missed on a lot of people, just how much emotionally it affects the people that are doing this.”
Wolves have killed 23 animals in Jackson County since December of 2021. That’s cattle, sheep, and three dogs, with seven calves in Grand County.
