Boy, this looks like its one step from being kindling --- although somehwat tough to tell from the photos. Price isn't ALL that bad though......http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1900s-Grand-Trunk-Caboose_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6737QQitemZ4571592054QQrdZ1

Hi,This looks like one of the 12 cars built in Port Huron, MI, between Nov.'23 and Mar.'24. These began service with 90500 series numbers but were later renumbered 77032 to 77043.RogerRef.: Railroad Model Craftsman, January 1999, pages 70 - 76.

Hmmm. Built in Port Huron. Seems like a natural for the museum up there. Of course it IS in bad shape...but the again, they did such a great job on their GT combine!Les

Looks pretty bad, but it is located just a few minutes from me, as well as SRI in Owosso. I think I might actually go check it out.

Hi,I've seen wood cabooses in a lot worse shape than that one. I wonder what it is sitting on if anything. There are a couple other neat things on ebay. How bout a depot:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4400208151&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1or another caboose:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1933-Train-Caboose-Very-Clean-Inside-and-Out_W0QQitemZ4571671075QQcategoryZ6737QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem(which I think is outragelously over priced)There is also a neat little stone depot, too:http://cgi.ebay.com/Chicago-Northwestern-Stone-Railroad-Depot-1868-in-Iowa_W0QQitemZ4395090632QQcategoryZ12605QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemIt always mazes me what you can find on ebay.......Stuart

Perhaps that's why it is priced almost $40,000.00 more than it is worth!I suspect this is a caboose from the group modified to become Tailgate Party Cabooses at the University of Louisville Stadium.Roger

Looks like a standard C&O bay window to me (International Car Co. maybe). Some of the more knowledgeable C&O experts could tell you which manufacturer and all that. It looks like it is a tailgate caboose. I wonder if he is talking about the trailer when he metions trucks or, possibley the actual trucks....I like the interior, though...Stuart

Great e-bay lines:"One of the last Caboose's made out of steel". (?)Apply online - Your loan could be approved within 5 minutes and you may be driving this Train Caboose within 48 hours!Mike

Thanks Les --- but one has to first get it here, and then find a home --- and worse, I wonder if she'd even make the "lift" before disentegrating.....And in the combine's case, the money, spot to put it, track space, and manpower were IN PLACE before we got it. Can't guarantee that with this one.TJ "still hoping to hit the lottery to create the greatest glorified junkyard in Michigan Rail Preservation history" Gaffney

To quote the great CCR --- "Oh lord, stuck in Lodi----ah.......";-)

TJ:No place to put it? Gee, you need one of those river ferry boats like the Lansdowne with all that track space! No wait....that's another thread isn't it?Les
