Soon, the caboose in Ada Railroad Park will be back to its original color of deep red. TJ Painting is finishing the exterior painting, having repainted the inside earlier. The 1941 Pennsy rail car was placed in the park in 1989. Over the years, it faded to a rusty pink. The caboose is a main attraction in the park and photographed quite often. The lettering will be applied in the near future. Pennsy caboose #477779 will look as good as new. (Monty Siekerman photo)
