Amy Rose and Tim Laubis are into rescues...not the usual pet rescues but they have saved a caboose and a statue from the trash heap.

And, for their engagement, Tim gave Amy Rose a rock...literally, a 16-ton rock, but more about that later.

The caboose has been on their property since 2007; the statue of a Crusade knight on a horse has been there since 2009.
