Laramie Railroad

Description

The Laramie Railroad Depot faced challenges in preservation and facilities management due to limited documentation of its current condition. To address the issue, this project employed advanced reality capture technologies, including the DJI Air 2S Drone, Leica BLK360, Matterport system, and Topcon GLS-2000, to create comprehensive digital records. The project successfully delivered a detailed point cloud model, a 3D model, and immersive virtual walkthroughs documenting the depot's existing conditions. These deliverables provide essential information for preservation planning, support facilities management decisions, and enable public engagement. The project demonstrates the effectiveness of digital documentation technologies in heritage preservation, establishing a valuable methodology for documenting historic structures. The findings emphasize the importance of utilizing digital documentation for both preservation planning and public education while offering a replicable approach for documenting other historic sites.
