Train Park Relocation Derailed

July 19, 2022

The historic locomotive that is located at Rotary Park at the corner of Broadway and 5th Street in Sheridan will not be moving anytime soon. The Sheridan City Council on a 5 to 2 vote Monday night, voted against a resolution that would have been the first step in moving the engine to property located just on the other side of the 5th Street railroad crossing and kitty-corner to where the locomotive is currently located.

Mayor Rich Bridger and Councilman Jacob Martin were the only two votes in favor of the resolution regarding the cost match for the train park. Councilman Steve Brantz, prior to the Council’s vote,  talked about why he would be voting against the resolution.
