This is the beginning of a tribute to the railroad history of Greenwood, AR. This former Northern Pacific caboose was originally displayed in Burlington Northern green. With my help it has been repainted in red typical of Missouri Pacific red, a line which once served Greenwood. Much more work is planned for this display near where the MP tracks crossed old US71.
