The potential of an ex Rutland caboose caught my eye. It is at Train Mountain, Oregon. I have never heard of this place, but with 8 cabooses, 5 ex NYC and/or CN PS 10/6's and other goodies it is a pretty large collection.

They actually have just one ex-NYC/ex-CN PS 10-6 sleeper. The photos are all of the same car. At any rate, this is a somewhat obsure place near K. Falls Oregon that has to be seen to be believed.

Hi Rob,

I assume the "8" is a typo since they have *38* cabooses at Train Mountain Park, Chiloquin, OR, including ROT 50/SMVR 200.

Happy Perihelion, Roger
