Caboose

We are currently in the process of restoring the old wooden sided caboose located in Downtown Colfax.  Work parties are on Saturdays and some Wednesdays.  If you are interested, contact Tony Hesch

The volunteers have:

  • Cleaned out the debris
  • Begun removing the decayed siding from the east side of the caboose

A project like this requires not only specialized materials but common ones as well.  We are currently on the look out for donations of:

  • Paint ( specifc color, mfg, & quantity)
  • Siding (Being custom milled)
  • Tools
  • Sandpaper

 

We can also use fiancial contributions.  And donations to the Caboose project will be solely used for its restoration.

We need your help!

 

We meet regularly on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.  Please constact us for specific work dates.
