Original paint of caboose 1006 discovered

The Colorado and Southern Railway Society continues their fantastic work in Silver Plume restoring caboose 1006.  They recently discovered a piece of wood in the car with the original paint color.  Their plan is to replicate that color when repainting the old bobber.

Work is estimated to cost $1500 to restore the cupola.  They have already raised 70% of the money.  If you're interested in helping the restoration process, they suggest contacting them via the Colorado and Southern Railway Society Facebook page for details on how to go about it.
