NNG NYC caboose starts its move to restoration in Wyoming
| December 10, 2014 05:15PM |
Yesterday we started the gentle process of moving this possibly 140 year old caboose to the Grand Encampment museum a mile from its current location....one of 2000 built i am hoping to uncover its original number. It was sold 2nd hand to the S&E (Saratoga and Encampment RR) in 1907 by a Chicago dealer.
