C&S Caboose 1006 - Cupola Rib Repairs
| July 30, 2021 02:11PM |
Last week we were able to take delivery of two repaired structural members of Caboose 1006. These are the roof ribs which support the Cupola and also mark each end of the Cupola.
Both pieces were badly deteriorated at the ends and required material replacement in those areas. Material used for the repairs was the same as the originals - white oak.
Many thanks to Michael Pannell / Vintage Rail Restorations of Cheyenne for their work on these two historic pieces!
