Re: [CBQ] Burlington caboose (1?) 0581

For some reason I can't log in for a new post so I apologize for piggy backing on this one.

If anyone is interested in a BLI (Blue Line)2-8-2  FWD #454 with custom built oil tender please contact me. 

According to an article in Trains Magazine from about 20 years ago, #454 was the last FWD stream locomotive operating in Texas. Ran several days a week from Wichita Falls to Abilene.

I'm selling off my layout after 40 plus years and this is a one of a kind that I had custom built. Has been run very, very little.

I recently discovered this caboose as part of a house for sale in Santa Fe, NM.  While the exterior is stucco, the number and name have been left visible.  I am interested in learning any history of this marvel.   The property also includes a duck-bill coach or emigrant car as part of the property.  The building itself appears to be designed along a basic depot design, complete with bay (operator's) window.  In case any others are interested, here is the link to the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1A-Camino-Pequeno-Santa-Fe-NM-87501/2063504556_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappemail&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=emailshare .  Thanks for any information.
