C&S 1006 Timeline, Part 10: 2017

The wonderful Colorado & Southern Railway Society continues it's work on 1006, as shown on their recent Facebook posts:

March 2017:

Progress continues on the Caboose 1006!
A new frame is being built for the Caboose 1006. the goal is to have the frame completed by Summer 2017. New Sill material was delivered and new End beams will soon be on the way!
The Sills are Douglas Fir and the end beams will be white Oak.

Draft gear has been dismantled on the Caboose 1006.
The draft gear was removed from the Caboose and the end beam was salvaged so that it could be used as a pattern for a new one. Draft gear will be assembled on to a new frame along with the other original hardware.
