Its given name sounds like a phone number: Pennsylvania 477779.
It’s 75 years old and after a half-century of hard - all out-of-doors - work, it found Ada – or, Ada found it.
It sadly out-lived its usefulness. It became obsolete, and simply turned into a reminder of the good old days of railroading. But, boy, were those good days.
Pennsylvania Railroad caboose 477779 retired in Ada in 1989. Several historic-mind and railroad-loving residents had a vision for Ada’s also retired and proud passenger station – that also avoided demolition.
A Bikers’ Strong fundraiser and escort for Amelia Griffin takes plan in Ada on Sunday, Sept. 4. The organization is an association of bikers and non-bikers who help fight childhood cancer and to help others.
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and starts at the Ada War Memorial Park.
Sponsors of the fundraiser said: “We will escort Amelia and her family out of Ada as she heads to get yet another treatment.”
Bikers will line up at 3 p.m. and the bikes will roll out of Ada between 3:30 and 4 p.m.
