Post subject:  Free caboose rides June 14th and 15th

In conjunction with the North Judson, Indiana MINT FESTIVAL, the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum will be offering FREE caboose rides this coming Fathers Day weekend. Ride in Bessember & Lake Erie #1989 (ex-EJ&E #510), Erie Lackawanna #C345 or EJ&E transfer caboose #184 (which is handicap accessible.) Motive power for the caboose train will be a 44 ton Whitcomb center cab (built in 1941) or a 95 ton GE end cab (built in 1952). Erie S1 Alco #310 will be on display. Rides will be offered on a continuing basis all day long on both Saturday and Sunday beginning at 10:00 a.m.

In addition, motor car rides will be offered and the museums Shop Building will be open for inspection (C&O 2-8-4 # 2789 is currently in the Shop.) The seven recently installed signals on the museum "main line" can also be seen and photographed.

All are welcome.
