From Scott Banks, ARR Public Affairs: "Caboose 1076 went to the Whittier
Coast Guard Auxillary and it sits in Whittier now. It was donated at our
last board meeting. They'll use half and the Whittier Chamber will
use half. Right now they're trying to get paint to begin restoring it."
(9/29/99)
The Coast Guard painted the caboose
and now has it open to the public. (7/01)
Curt Fortenberry adds, "Number 1076 was built by Pacific Car and Foundry
of Renton, WA, in 1949. In the mid-1970's, PC&F rebuilt many of the cabooses
to include new FRA approved glazing, removal of the running boards, and other
items."
