"I think it's a well thought out project. You either have this or you have a stagnation of the existing facility which does no one any. i The' approved plan also requires Santa Fe to be help in the development of a railroad heritage museum in San Bernardino.

James Smith of the Native Sons of the Golden West, an organization that works to preserve historical landmarks, was happy with the concessions made by Santa Fe. "We're very pleased with the results that we preserved the smokestack, that was our main intent," Smith said. "I think people in San Bernardino have accepted that the facility here is a thing of the past and that this is a step in the right direction to create new jobs." Structures to be demolished include the 80-year-old roundhouse and the cavernous brick shops that once housed blacksmiths, machinists, mechanics, carpenters and electricians the crafts needed to keep a railroad running. At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, the San Bernardino site was Santa Fe's largest heavy locomotive repair center and one of the largest railroad depots in the United States with as many as 4,000 workers. In brief Lawsuit targets abortion protesters Federal prosecutors filed a suit to curb weekly protests in front of a Crestline abortion doctor's home, officials said Tuesday.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, alleges that Jeffrey White; director of Operation Rescue of California, and two others harassed and threatened Dr. Michael Morris as he left for work one Friday in December. Morris works at Family Planning Associates Medical Group offices in Riverside and San Bernardino. The Dec.

9 protest' spurred a joint request by the U.S. Attorney's Office and U.S. Department of Justice to scale back where the protesters may congregate. Protesters pushed Morris and he received cuts and bruises, according to the suit. Tuesday's complaint is based on the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994.

White, of Lake Arrowhead, is part of a group that protests near Morris' Dart Canyon Road home at 6 a.m. every Friday, according to San Bernardino County sheriffs officials. Sheriffs Lt. Ray Rucker said White and Morris have been filing police reports against the other for almost a year. Except for the Dec.

9 incident, there have been no physical confrontations, but deputies and U.S. Marshals have been patrolling the protests, he said. White nor Morris could be reached for comment. Council honors rescue team The Redlands City Council on Tuesday honored firefighter Walt Harrison and his trained rescue dog, Misty, for their work at the Oklahoma City bombing site. Harrison and Misty, one of five trained rescue teams in the state, were sent to Oklahoma City after the federal building was bombed last month to look for survivors in the rubble.

Rialto Raceway gets Council vote Junior drag racing is speeding its way into popularity and Rialto has become an important part of the new sport. The city council unanimously decided Tuesday to dedicate a portion of Rialto Municipal Airport as the official Rialto Raceway, making it the first track in the country exclusively devoted to the young racers. Junior drag racing involves sleek, sophisticated dragsters with engines that can accelerate faster than street cars. Kids 8 to 17 years old compete by speeding down a straight strip usually one-eighth of a mile long. The cars, which can reach speeds of 70 mph, are half the size of a regular dragster.

They operate on a 5-horsepower engine. the same as a lawnmow-er. )U: Sun Staff SAN BERNARDINO maintenance 4 yard f- RiattoAve, 2nd St. V. 21SJ MIII COLTON SUN STAFF In Memorlam Death notices In this column are prepared by The Sun's classified advertising department.
