This well kept wooden caboose is situated on Lake Champlain in northern Vermont. Markings indicate a construction date of June 1910, and of course the non-authentic looking BMRR, but could it be Rutland or Central Vermont? Would the experts like to weigh-in on this? (Bob Yarger?) Although it would be nice to see this at a museum, it sure looks like a cozy spot!  SJHussar@aol.com |

It's a CV caboose, but can't remember the number. It's been at a lakeside home for years on the McQuam Shore Road, north of St. Albans Bay. Belonged to a Gordon somebody that owned a grocery store in Swanton, but can't remember his last name. ryarger@rypn.org |

In any case, it's a good looking caboose for being so many years old... wichita_rails@msn.com |

I believe the owner's name was Gordon Winters. The caboose had GWRR on the side when I lived up there. Probably a new owner of the property now. > It's a CV caboose, but can't remember the > number.
