- History / Biographical
- In 1991, at the suggestion of retired railroaders, the Bulkley Valley Museum Society purchased a retired CN caboose which was to be sold for scrap. The vehicle was moved to a new home at the Veteran's Peace Park by Louis Schibli and Al Booth in February 1996. It was eventually transferred to the Railway Museum in Prince George.
