SR&RL Caboose at Boothbay

A good looking caboose, Sept 2016. This caboose is on loan from the MNG in Portland, Maine and was restored around 2007.
Near Boothbay, Maine there is a good selection of interesting Maine two foot equipment at Boothbay Railway Village. One of the better looking pieces is a SR&RL caboose.
At Boothbay Railway Village a restoration project was SR&RL Caboose No 551 which is on loan from MNG in Portland. No. 551 got all new siding and several structural wall members repaired, it also got a new rubber roof. The interior was refinished and painted based upon research and analysis of the existing layers of paint...George Dutka
