I was in Colorado for a vacation and needed to verify some dimensions
and details on the # 7 Caboose truck. I downloaded the existing waycar
doc and I tracked down some cabooses. Here's what I found. The list
could use some updating.
Boulder CO Wood, cupola, Leo Hobeiz, N of jct. of Rt 7 & US 36, w/ coach
& 2nd caboose, from E. Arapahoe
I could not find this equipment. I believe it has been moved.
Littleton CO 13966 BN 11147, Burlington Route, blt 9/13, Art Depot,
South Court Place
I did find this. It is getting a little bit shabby. It could use some
attention. Talked to one of the lady's there and she said the city took
care of it and had not put any money into it.
Denver CO 14219? BN 11045?, wood, cupola, Highline Community School,
11000 E Exposition Ave, (303) 364-7657
I could not find this one. I did not travel to the site, but used Google
to search the area. I did find reference to it at
http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,1234320
Says it's painted Rio Grande and is at Box Prairie, CO as of 9/2006
And; I found a relocated w/c. Number 14634 is located in Buena Vista,
CO. Road side is painted Colorado Midland. Lake side is CB&Q 14634. I
was the Colorado Midland stencil inside the w/c. Looks like the CM side
was freshly painted and the Q side was getting not bad, but not freshly
painted. Also found on of the pedestals had CB&N cast on it. All others
had 201 cast on them. This caboose according to the list is in Lincoln,
NE.
