🚂 Earp Park Caboose Gets a Fresh Start!🌟

Last Updated 9/4/2025 • Posted in News


🚂✨ Caboose Update at Earp Park! ✨🚂


The caboose has a brand-new coat of paint thanks to the incredible generosity of JR Watts and Capitol Construction, along with support from our amazing community and a matching grant from the Nevada/Vernon County Community Foundation! ❤️


This was no small project — hours of prep and painting went into restoring this landmark, and we are so grateful for the donations of time, talent, resources, and funding that made it possible. 🙌


👉 The project isn’t finished yet! Next up: historical decals will be added to bring even more life and authenticity to this important piece of our railroad heritage.


We’re proud to see this caboose shining once again as a symbol of Nevada’s history and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this restoration a reality! 👏👏👏
