Alexandria caboose needs $100,000 in repairs

The Little Red Caboose outside Mount Vernon Community School in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood needs major repairs, and the nonprofit Caboose Fund says restoration will cost $100,000. The wooden 1919 caboose, placed at the school in 1973, has deteriorating window frames and other damage; the fund says it could be removed and scrapped without community support.
