Rail Heritage Program: The Norge Caboose at Lee Hall Depot (Newport News)
February 14 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreePartners: William Fox of the Norge Depot Association and Lee Hall Train Station Foundation
Local Historian and Author William Fox will share how the Norge Depot Association acquired, moved and restored a 1925 Georgia caboose (GA 2875) to the Norge Depot museum campus in James City County between 2015-2025. The tale follows a similar thread to that of the Lee Hall Depot’s Chessie System caboose. You’ll learn how these two nonprofit sister organizations tackled logistical problems, raised money and ultimately achieved success.
Program cosponsored by Newport News Historic Services and Lee Hall Train Station Foundation. Free and open to the public. The Lee Hall Depot is located at 9 Elmhurst Street, Newport News, Virginia.
