The old Pennsylvania Railroad caboose that has been a roadside fixture in Chestnut, Ill. for decades will find a new home this week.
On Tuesday, the car was removed from its track on the Marten property for the first time in 29 years. Today, it will make its way the Monticello Railway Museum in Monticello, Ill. where it will join 13 other cabooses on display for railway fans from around the world.
The caboose was brought to town by rail in 1988 to become the centerpiece of Chestnut resident Dwain Marten’s private train collection.
