While I was in North Freedom, WI last weekend working Mid Continent's Santa Express, I shot some pictures of their new camp car track installed over the summer. I'm very impressed with how clean and orderly the grounds are, even the area adjacent to the track along the Baraboo river.

Chris -

And I'm glad to see the Rock Island passenger/baggage/caboose getting some attention. Thanks for submitting the photos.

Is this the Cotton Belt drovers caboose that the Railroad Museum of New England was trying to deaccession?

No. I think the MCRM-based car is a standard SSW caboose, not a branchline caboose.

And the RMNE car is still available; however, it must be moved by truck, and previously interested parties in Texas have not had the funds to load and move it.
