Caboose 2516 on display at last
| August 28, 2014 08:21PM |
So to defer the rumour that i never finish a project ! 2516 went on show at Capital Lumber in Cheyenne yesterday and has aroused lots of attention. Most people in town had no idea that such an old and rare caboose existed and she turned out looking so nice. Interior is still 60% complete but exterior apart from pre 1937 UP font on the north side is more or less complete. She will be on show until September 6th after that she will be back in her ICBM box, we even installed a working air system to teach people what the cabooses role was and how important.
