Middleport Receives Red Caboose for Town Park Project
Two Middleport youths Ken Gilkey and George Arnott spearhead a plan to donate a 1920 era caboose to Middleport Municipal Park with backing from the late Mayor John Zerkle. The Chessie System donated the 20 ton car, slated for relocation from Chillicothe, and Penn Central provided a track section. The caboose will be cleaned and painted red with yellow trim before public display.
