The Pride of Ada has a new look
By Monty Siekerman
It's done!
The painting and renovation of the Pennsy caboose in the Railroad Park downtown is finished. Mayor Dave Retterer will rededicate the new-looking railcar at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, during Harvest and Herb Fest. All are welcome to attend.
Here, Daphnie Shaw, 4, gives her approval. She is the daughter of Rob and Brittany Shaw.
Children love to climb the stairs, peek in the windows, and turn the clanky-clank wheel. The caboose has a new roof, new lettering, was repainted inside and out, and glass windows were installed.
