Growing up around trains with my dad being the influencer, the caboose was my favorite part of the train. Now living next to one of the busier railroad main lines in the country (Union Pacific owned, BNSF shared) ,my wife and I owning our own Caboose idea came to mind when a local short-line was selling off some of their rolling stock. Ex-Union Pacific CA-6 Caboose #25322 built in September of '55 spent most of its working career in Kansas, Colorado, Utah And Idaho.
We couldn't have imagined having our own caboose, but as the wheels start spinning (no pun intended), the idea snow balled into a reality. Initial intent was to do an exterior make-over to bring it back to life. Well, that simple idea didn't last very long as friends would come over suggesting how the location, nostalgia, and the many others out there from all ages with the same railroad interest, -'This has to be shared!' So the complete overhaul began to what we can now offer as a comfortable, relaxing stay to create memories with family of friends.
