It's down to the wire in the fight to save the historic Boones Mill train depot.
A meeting is taking place Monday night.
Preservationists will meet at the Lion's Club to discuss strategies on how to save the building, which Norfolk Southern wants to tear down.
A construction company has already applied for a demolition permit so time is running out.
Norfolk Southern has agreed to pay $6,000 towards the group's restoration project, so long as the preservationists can prove they can foot the remainder of the $140,000 price tag to relocate the building.
