Water tank at Goffs
21 November 2003. Goffs. Friday. Goffsgram.
The skyline of Goffs changed forever today. At 11:00 a.m., a contractor working for BNSF Railway, knocked down the 60-foot water tower that has stood here for more than 80 years. In connection with that, all other BNSF water facilities are being removed. BNSF is definitely out of the water business. Meanwhile, with the funds provided by BNSF to those customers who had their water piped directly to their homes in Goffs (eight in number including ourselves), five new wells have been drilled in Goffs. Four of the five are complete (including our new well) and one is well on the way. So there's water in Goffs. Everyone wins. The inhabitants get water and BNSF gets out of the water business.
