UP 25086 Update October 5, 2008

A RAIN OUT! But the plan was to paint the roof red on this caboose today. Here are some Kirk Warner photos.

Might Mite

The trusty little Joy 2 was used to pull the caboose from Barn 3. In an extraordinary bit of "museum first" cooperation, the Steam Passenger Coach Dpeartment has made a space available in Barn 3 for most of the summer for Freight Department painting projects. This keeps the car clean and dry and allows masking without weather worries.

Ready to Paint

Here we are ready to paint, about the time the first raindrop fell. Back into Barn 3 to await another day.
