A committee in Gilbert Plains is holding a meeting tonight to ‘save the caboose’.
The group, which is still welcoming new members, wants to raise money for some much-needed restorations to the exterior.
Committee member Rick Kowalski says the caboose in front of the Gilbert Plains Drop-In Centre holds a large part of history in the area, and the committee would like to see it preserved.
“At some point in the future, we want to get the metal exterior parts sandblasted and painted. We’re not looking for a complete restoration on it but it is a large part of history.”
Tonight’s meeting will be held at the Gilbert Plains Municipal Chambers at 7:00 p.m.
