St. Johns Rails: Goodbye to Four Vintage Cars | Lansing News

St. Johns is saying goodbye to four historic rail cars, two of which are being demolished next week — including a sleeper and a mail car — as restoration costs prove too steep. But don’t worry, the community’s got a plan: locals are snapping photos before they vanish, a black Ann Arbor car is headed to Railmark (thanks to their sponsorship), and the city’s keeping a red caboose for a $100K makeover — the only one that ever stopped here. Meanwhile, salvaged pieces from the sleeper car will help restore its sister in Wisconsin, and historical artifacts are being preserved for a new museum exhibit.
