The Frankie Schmitz Express got a little TLC today. 🚂❤️

Our train conductors do a whole lot more than take you for a ride around our beloved Leonard Park. They’re also the crew getting their hands dirty to diagnose the problem and get our favorite little train back on the tracks.

They ran into a few more challenges while working on it, so there’s still work to be done, but our team is on it.

And with Frankie Fright Express coming Oct. 27–29 and Frankie’s Festival of Lights Dec. 15–17, we know Frankie has some VERY important work ahead. 👻🎄🚂

A little behind-the-scenes appreciation for the folks who keep the wheels turning, literally! ❤️🤍💙

It takes a special kind of team to stay calm when the unexpected happens.

When a discarded container of what appeared to be muriatic acid ignited a trailer fire at the Transfer Station, our Solid Waste employees acted immediately and extinguished the fire before it got too far out of hand.

Their quick response helped protect the facility and those around them. We're grateful for a team that's always ready to step up when it matters most. 👏🚛🔥

And thank you to Gainesville Texas Fire-Rescue for responding to ensure the fire was fully extinguished and the scene was safe.

🚨Remember: Household chemicals should never be disposed of in regular trash. Proper disposal helps protect sanitation workers, emergency responders, and our community. 🚨
