We had lunch with Ken Middlebrook at the History San Jose Museum last Friday and he was successful in getting OSH to donate the box car to the museum. It will be trucked out there and repainted and they will also repaint the caboose that is on display there as well. BTW, the old store is going to be rebuilt on the same site.
