About the Caboose
The Caboose is the most unique car on the train. Originally used as the crew office on the back of long freight trains, our historic 1937 caboose has been completely restored with a lush mahogany and maple interior. Our caboose features an upstairs cupola where passengers can sit and look out above the train. During colder months, our authentic coal burning stove keeps passengers warm in this cozy cabin on wheels.
