One challenge is finding space to display the train in the Marina Park area.
THUNDER BAY — If it's impractical or too expensive to move the historic James Whalen tugboat to Marina Park, the Transportation Museum of Thunder Bay wants to be first in line for the next best thing.
After it was revealed Tuesday that City of Thunder Bay administration is recommending only certain components of the boat be preserved and that the rest be recycled, representatives of the museum sat down Wednesday with city officials. He also confirmed the Transportation Museum of Thunder Bay plans to respond to the city's pending request for expressions of interest in taking over and relocating the VIA Rail train on display at Kam River Heritage Park.
"The CEDC is doing the 'best use' study on the entire area, and the city's kind of waiting on what they come up with for that, which I think affects everything, because there's other people interested in Pool 6 too," Peterson noted.
