The storage of these vehicles in the heart of Deer Park's downtown is simply not acceptable. The trains must be permanently removed.

None of this momentum would be here without you all stepping up to say enough is enough.

it looks like a total dump right in the middle of town. seriously ruins the curb appeal for everyone living nearby.

get them out of here. we pay enough in taxes without having to stare at garbage graffiti trains every day.

they should be in a yard not over a main road. just lazy logistics honestly.
