Adam Jones wants to refurbish the historic caboose in Escalon’s Main Street Park – and he is hoping to utilize the project as his stepping stone to the rank of Eagle Scout. The teen, who will be a senior at Escalon High in August, has proposed the work as his Eagle Scout service project and it will include painting and restoring the caboose, including sanding and paining inside and out, replacing damaged flooring and more. Jones is seeking donations to help purchase materials and the goal is to get the project started by late July or early August, with the completion date set prior to his return to school.
