1920's Era Rock Island Caboose

The rancher's son remembers the day that his father bought the caboose and placed it on the ranch near Ft. Worth in 1976. He tells me that he saw a date of 1913 painted on the side of the cabin car.

The caboose has since been repainted and exterior siding added to preserve the wood. I did find dates of 1904 on one of the truck bolsters as well as 1923 and 1940 on the truck sideframes.

This car is intact with the original cupola now turned into a sky light for the cabin and office area. A door has been cut into one side of the caboose for a bathroom. This can be restored relatively easily or you may want to use it to place another room entrance to the unit.

The windows have been replaced with framed glass to make the car water tight. Please contact Bob or Jim to arrange for a tour for your acceptance. This is an original item of genuine Americana that will not last long.
