CITY OF HARLINGEN, TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD TO DEMOLISH DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES
The City of Harlingen has again partnered with the Texas National Guard in a joint effort to demolish dilapidated structures that also serve as a haven for criminal activity.
Known as Operation Crackdown, the Texas National Guard will deploy a demolition unit of servicemen and women to be stationed in Harlingen from Feb. 29 through March 11. The City has identified 13 structures that are being demolished during this time period.
“Operation Crackdown is an excellent initiative that eliminates properties that are eyesores, drug havens and ultimately dangerous,” City Manager Dan Serna said. “Not only will we have cleaner and safer neighborhoods, but we will also significantly improve the quality of life for Harlingen residents.”
Known as Operation Crackdown, the Texas National Guard utilizes funds from drug seizures for the demolition of unsafe structures at no cost to property owners and little to no cost to the City.
The Operation’s purpose is to turn a negative into a positive by returning drug seizure monies to neighborhoods via the demolition of crime-ridden structures that pose a danger to residents.
Citywide cleanup and beautification efforts will continue to be a priority. Over the last five years, the City has demolished 134 unsafe, crime-ridden structures and worked with dozens of private property owners to demolish more than 94 others and rehabilitate many more.
“We are extremely grateful to the Texas National Guard for the Operation Crackdown partnership we’ve cultivated for several years now,” Serna said.
I have cheated away the incredibly ugly face I made, blindshooting downwards through the little window.

The 1890 structure that is Dunfermline City station plays host to a celebrity on the afternoon of 3rd June 2021. 170 407, seen here about to depart with 2G60, the 14.24 Cowdenbeath to Edinburgh, was at the time unique in Scotland in carrying a non-standard livery with vinyls advertising a phone text messaging incident service for the British Transport Police.
The station itself is another attractive piece of architecture, but gives the impression of being far too big for purpose, and one can almost envisage the tumbleweed blowing through it between departures. Likewise the location, which is an inconvenient half mile walk from the town centre if you are looking for lunch between trains. This happenstance dates from 1968 when Dunfermline Upper, on the former line to Stirling was closed. Prior to this City station was known as Dunfermline Lower, a name that better reflects its actual location.
Fortunately, for those not in need of a haggis supper, the verdant Dunfermline Public Park is immediately adjacent, and provides a pleasantly bosky backdrop for this tranquil scene.
