Caboose 28

This session was focused entirely on Caboose 28. Carpentry work on the sides and ends of the car was completed, and approximately half of the new roof was applied. Repairs were made to the cupola, and reassembly of the iron work continued. The car received a second coat of paint.

Bob Goldby and Richard Culp work on cleaning, priming and painting the caboose hardware.

The window sashes are reinstalled and painted.

Lee Rainey and Dick Ullery apply the finish paint color on the siding.

Wade Woodcock works to bolt the hardware back on the caboose platform.

Frank Shoop and Henry Long install the rolled rubber roofing onto the caboose.

Charlie Wootton finished up on the caboose for the weekend. It is nearing completion.
