After August 2003, the eteam concentrated on the lot’s improvement. Our plan was, to create a train stop, which would enhance the lot’s infrastructure and therefore the value of the land. To demonstrate the possible reality of this plan, a passing by train had to stop a least once in front of the land. We opened a Train Stop Inn, which provided ice cool drinks and snacks for the train operators and waited. Trains traveling between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City passed in irregular intervals - between 3 to 5 per day. Temperatures ranged between 90 and 120F. We kept waiting, tried out different outfits to draw attention, started rubbing the train tracks, until a train stopped and the possibility of a permanent train stop turned into a reality.
