I have had the opportunity to replace one end beam and decking on this . I also have helped with the lettering.

A wonderful short history on #1009. Thanks Kurt!! (and it is great to see your children helping you out on your C&S documentation adventures!)

Yes, my trusty camera-helper was a my partner-in-crime! :)

As a volunteer at the CRRM, it's nice to see some past photos of these pieces of equipment, beyond the pictures and such at the CRRM

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wish there was a photo of 1006 when Bob Richardson found her in the junk yard at Buena Vista.

Thank You for this recording.

I'm glad to hear of C&S fans in Germany! My father is from there and the rest of my family is there as well.

The caboose is such a vibe :o Keeping chilling :]

The C&S is always vibing and chilling

Thanks for putting this short history lesson together and sharing…Where we’re the replacement metal parts sourced from to restore this caboose.

Very good question. I know it was all done at the museum. Some have argued that some of its parts are not the authentic size for a C&S caboose. Beyond that I don't know any specifics. My guess is that they tried to mirror 1006 in Silver Plume which is the only fully (and authentically) intact C&S caboose in existence.
