Monon Caboose 81551 Restoration Work Update

Update by Les Beckman
April 30, 2022


New photos from April 30, 2022 at the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum:

Some photos from today at Hoosier Valley:

First photo shows the museum's S1 ALCO pushing Monon transfer caboose 81551 toward the Shop.





Once inside the Shop, Ken Davenport is shown in the 2nd shot, removing the protective tarp from the 81551.





Ken is seen in the 3rd photo, trying to remove one of the welded shut widows in the 81551.





The 4th photo is evidence that Ken was successful in removing not just one welded shut window, but also a second one!






The Monon projects continue ongoing at Hoosier Valley!


Much more still to do, but we're getting there!
