He explained realizing the importance of preserving the original CN station Gene and the Chamber of Commerce decided to undertake the ambitious project of dismantling and moving this building to its current location where it became the home of the current Flin Flon Station Museum. Heine added he was also instrumental in installing some of the infrastructure required for the exterior museum artifacts.
