The museum is in the process of renovating this Great Northern Railway caboose. Here is a photo of the caboose as it arrives at the museum and being lifted off the flat bed truck. A tremendous amount of work has been done already, and the exterior is nearly finished. Yet, there is much more to do. Take a look inside the caboose page to see what we mean. Caboose lifted

This push cart was refurbished by the museum and is ready to roll on the tracks! At the CHJ it has its own shed to keep it in pristine condition, and could be used any day if called into service.

Thanks to all of the hard work put into this piece by the museum members. Check the push cart page for more photos.

This rail rod project was taken on by some of the museum members for fun. Note the 5hp engine which manages to move the rod along the track at a respectable speed. Visit the rail rod page for more photos.
