Kelso Train Station Renovation
|
The Kelso Train station houses the visitor center and Mojave
National Park ranger station.
As a major renovation to this historical
building Bielski Services removed all exterior Lead Based paint from the
exterior stucco wall surfaces of this Train Station in the Mojave
National Preserve. Careful planning is made by a specialized crew trained
for lead base paint removal and containment. Bielski organized all logistical issues pertaining to
hazardous waste water and paint containment and proper disposal at a permitted solid waste disposal
site in central California.

Originally built in 1923 to provide
water to steam power locomotives due to nearby springs. The
station also served as a restaurant to train passengers because of the
distance across the desert. Kelso grew to about 2000 people in the 40's
when iron was mined 9mi to the south at the Vulcan Mine for WWII.
This ore was transported by train to Kaiser Steel in Fontana. The mine
was closed after the war because the ore contained too much sulfur.
The Kelso community shrank dramatically at that point. |
| This is how the station looks today with a new
exterior finish, roof, grass and awnings. The renovation was
completed in 2005. |
Below is what the station looked like with multiple coats of lead
paint before renovation.
