Description On my Trip to Durand, Michigan, me and Matt found this Jewel in a small town outside of Owosso, Michigan. This Caboose is a 1894 GTW Wood Caboose, which now of days are hard to find. Even though it was showing its age, we looked in one of its windows and saw that it has been wonderfully taken care of. The Interior of the caboose was restored. Maybe who ever owns this caboose, maybe they fix her outside too.

I do too. You can HARDLY find Wooden Cabooses in that shape.

I should take a photo of a caboose that's not too far from my house. It's actually being used by a local music shop and I'm not really sure why. It's no where near a rail line. In fact, I wonder how they got it put in front of their "home" business.

That's really interesting. And Maybe they got shipped by Wide Load Truck.

Is 1894 the year of origin? If so I guess it looks great for that age!

Best wishes and hugs,

Wow! How about that? Speaking of cabooses, there's one restaurant I wish I could take you too because I know you'd love it. It's a diner, but it's all inside of an actual train caboose. It's awesome.
