Restoring an Ada community treasure
Thank you Ada Kiwanis Club for choosing to lead an ambitious undertaking to refurbish the Pennsylvania Railroad caboose in the depot park.
The plans from the club are beginning to circulate around town and the Icon thinks its a great idea.
Just to show what the caboose once looked it, (that's not Ada's caboose in the newly painted photo) we've posted the photo above. The color is Pennsylvania Railroad maroon, for purist color-minded people.
Below this story is the same photo plus a look at the current state of Ada's caboose number 477779.
Pennsylvania Railroad cabooses came in several variations of color schemes. Ada's caboose is entirely maroon. The other photo shows a black top.
We urge the entire community to become part of this project.
