Old-Timey Cabooses Seek Extension from New Rail Safety Requirements

Published Date: 4/29/2026

Notice

Summary

The Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad wants to keep using some super old rail cars—like cabooses and a camp car—that are over 50 years old without following certain new safety rules about stenciling and glazing. They’ve asked for more time to keep this special permission, and the public can share their thoughts by June 29, 2026. This helps DGVR keep their vintage trains running smoothly without extra costs or changes right now.
