Description
REPRINT
This 36’ riveted steel caboose with offset cupola is green with yellow ends and white lettering and runs on Bettendorf Swing Motion trucks. Built in 1930 for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, this caboose was later rolled into Burlington Northern after the CB&Q merged with Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railway. After the merger, it received a fresh coat of BN Green along with a stencil denoting “Yard Service Only.” It continued to serve the railroad through the late 1970s before being retired.
