Old Caboose Hoodies

This vintage caboose was built by Frisco in Springfield, MO in the fall of 1946. The train car was "modernized" in Kansas City in 1969 and renumbered 1129. The car siding is original on the front and rear but the sides were replaced in 1975. The car had been taken out of service by St.Louis - San Francisco Railroad after having been damaged while being moved from Joplin to Carl Junction in October, 1974.

The old, red caboose sits in all its rustic glory along the abandoned tracks.
