The Steam Railroading Institute is pleased to announce that they have just received a letter from the Jenny H. and Otto F. Krauss Charitable Foundation Trust of Raleigh, North Carolina, indicating that they received a Grant Award towards the restoration of their recently acquired Ann Arbor Caboose #2838 in the amount of $5350.00.

This grant, coupled with the roughly $600 they received from the family of the recently deceased Ann Arbor Railway employee Ted Schultz, means that tehy have the money to complete the exterior and interior restoration of this piece of equipment, as well as the interior removable educational panels on the role of the Ann Arbor in Owosso, and the role of the conductor/ brakeman and the once common caboose in the history of the steam-era freight train.
