Lula City Manager Dennis Bergin looks over a red caboose that area officials and groups, including the Lula Area Betterment Association, hope to restore, particularly giving the train car a fresh coat of paint and repairing rusted metal.
Lula is moving forward on improvements to its iconic red caboose, even though details are still being worked out. The city council voted last week to spend up to $7,000 on sandblasting and repainting the caboose, as well as landscaping around the railroad car. “We’ll have to get somebody else to do the lettering (on the side of the car), because the contractor can’t do that,” Mayor Milton Turner said.
