A 100-year-old rail car once used by the Glasgow Railway Co. is on its way to being restored and put on display at the Historic RailPark and Train Museum in Bowling Green.



The car, which was used from 1909 to 1955, was recently donated by the Lessenberry family of Glasgow. It had been sitting outside for decades.

The Daily News of Bowling Green reports that the city has received a $189,000 grant to move and restore the rail car. Larry Bailey, who's a board member of the Friends of the L&N Depot, says it will be sandblasted and cleaned. Volunteers will work on it in an indoor facility.

Since the mostly wooden car is deteriorated, detailed drawings of how it should go together are being recreated by a local architect.
