BOOTHBAY
THE BOOTHBAY RAILWAY VILLAGE has acquired a historically significant piece of Maine railroad history — a 2-foot-gauge caboose from the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum of Portland.
Caboose 551 was built in Phillips in 1904 by Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad. It served the railroad until the end of its operations in 1935 and was eventually sold for use as a camp.
The caboose was restored in the 1940s by Ellis D. Atwood, founder of the Edaville Railroad of Massachusetts, whose collection was moved to Portland in 1993. For more details, call 633-4727 or go to www.railwayvillage.org.
