Grafton caboose project nears opening and history display
About a year after the Downtown Committee bought a 1942 Chessie caboose, workers from GM Fisher Guide Jobs Program repainted its interior in original colors and prepared for a spring opening. Plans include memorabilia and potential partial rental, with site on Railroad Street near Main Street. The project aims to boost community use and preserve railroad history. Also Midview East Carlisle Elementary School marks 60th, with PTA sign and monthly commemorations, aided by Fisher Guide Plant workers painting and repairing as part of their Jobs Program.
