Remarks at the dedication of the Ada Caboose Project, Sept. 17, 2016
The Ada Caboose project brought this caboose here in 1989. The scrapbooks that document the initial caboose project are available for your inspection. The caboose itself cost $2,000 in 1989 and much more time and money has been spent on restoring and maintaining it over the years. We are here today to mark the completion of the second restoration of this caboose.
