Work on the Interurban 305 railcar is not on schedule and is still being delayed by the Edwards Railcar Company located in Montgomery, Alabama.Efforts to reach the company have been at a stand still due to a disconnected phone, leaving concerned citizens and city officials ready to go and retrieve the car and return it to Corsicana. The project, according to the contract between the City of Corsicana and Steven Torrico (owner of Edwards Railcar), began in October of 2004, and payment installments were scheduled to be sent out during several different phases of completion with the final two payments to be made when the car was finished and delivered to Corsicana, where it is supposed to be used as a tourist attraction next to the Visitors Center. |

 THIS TATTERED AMERICAN FLAG SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE, but often the case people in general may not know the proper way to dispose of worn out flags. “I’ve had parents come up to me and tell me how their children learned about flag etiquette from a class I taught,” O’Hanlon said, “and how they have learned something new about the proper disposal of the flag from those very same children.” |
