<p>[quote user="Paul of Covington"]</p> <p>[quote user="eagle1030"]Conner, if you wanna see 12, just ask an employee. Employees can either take you to it themselves or give you permission to go look at it. At least that's what the tour guide did last week.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> Be sure to get official permission. When I was there a little over ten years ago, I asked a worker there if it would be OK to enter that area. He said, "Sure, come in and look around." A few minutes later, I was accosted by another one who told me sternly that I was not supposed to be there.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> Yes, I have seen this happen too several people. You can see the restoration area from the observation platform next to the UP mainline that runs by the museum. Problem is that the museum doesn't have signs designating the area as off-limits and many people wander back there unaware of where they are. As of today I have seen 9 people go back there and be confronted. Only traffic cones mark the area boundaries, and said traffic cones are literally everywhere at the museum, they don't appear to mark an area is what I'm saying. </p>
