After a nice Mexican lunch in Bowling Green, we waved goodbye to Grandma and Granddaddy Roe as they turned south for home. Not being in a hurry, we turned west towards Russellville while the boys enjoyed their afternoon nap. I had read that the community had a caboose on display, but found none on inspection. We then turned north and found this green caboose near Powderly. Using abandoned rail lines, Muhlenberg County built a six mile paved trail connecting the communities of Greenville, Powderly, and Central City. To solute the trail’s railroad heritage, they added a retired Paducah and Louisville caboose. The PAL is a Class II railroad that still operates freight service between Paducah and Louisville, Kentucky. After inspecting the caboose up close, we vented a little excess steam along the trail.
