With the weather finally improving, we were out switching equipment today, and Sumpter Valley caboose number 3 ventured out of the restoration shed. Work is progressing nicely, and the car should be fully operational in the very near future. New doors have been built and are waiting on harware, and a new curved side grab was being manufactured this afternoon. Anyway, the caboose is really coming together, in thanks completely to volunteers for their time and financial contributions. It's amazing what can be done when 100 perecent of the proceeds go towards the inteneded project. And for a plug on the latter, if you'd like to make a donation to the restoration fund, please send your checks to the address below...
