N&W Burlington caboose

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Thanks, Ken.  You (or anyone who wants to see it) can contact me 
directly at glencoeplaid at bellsouth.net.  I'm still working on the 
interior - hope to be done by the end of the year - it will be museum 
featuring N&W, life on cabooses, the role of the NC Railroad in forming 
Company Shops (later Burlington) and rails in NC in general.  It will 
be open by appointment and for all downtown public events.

I did get a National Railway Heritage grant from NRHS to help with the 
restoration since I am paying for it and not the city (who owns the 
caboose).  I was excited to be chosen!
