I just found this out from someone who lives near there,
I will find this caboose lol....
I use to live about 10 miles from that area and never been over around there.
She was telling me they have a gate up at the caboose or something, but nobody
would probaby say anything if someone went inside it,
Need those inside pics for a fellow who building one in O scale, so hoping I
can get the pic he wants in the next few days while the weather is nice.
