Work on turning D&RGW caboose 04990 from a peice of charcoal back into a caboose is nearing completion.(The work is being done by the Boulder County Railway Historical Society in Boulder Colorado)
Thanks to our door and window crew (Todd Hackett who constructed the new doors, windows and associated parts and Chris Weaver, who helped Todd install the doors & windows) 04990 is looking good and fully water tight.
Some photos from today;
