Has anyone been in here? I scouted this place out earlier today while looking around the Arch for the first time. Looked really humongous and easy to get into. I didn't want to go inside alone though. I noticed there was a white Camaro or Firebird parked in a discrete spot. Probably some fellow urban exploreres.

I have been in there several times all thats inside is a shit load of books all over the ground and a bunch of old fileing cabnets, last time i was inside a bum ran at me stopped for a second about two feet from me grunted and ran around me. it scared the shit out of me.
For the purpose of preservation, what kind of books were these and among the litter were there papers pertaining to the railroad ie. invoices or just general random paperwork? Often times when something like that is abandoned a lot of the paperwork just gets left or the "less important" paperwork gets left I should say. If this is the case and possibly the books and what not have something to do with record keeping, I'd like to organize a team to go out there and collect that shit and go through it and what was of the railroad give it to the museum of transport or find out where the historic society for the Cotton Belt is and give the paperwork to them.
Just a though.

Interestingly enough, everything in this building is stuff completely unrelated to it. There are magazines and tires and toys and clothes, all that seem to have been brought there by Goodwill or someone. I never found anything relating to the actual railroad.
My bud and I each carry around a telescoping baton to scare off ill-intentioned bums, crackheads, or packs of wild dogs. You can also disguise them as flashlights so you don't look threatening.
