Caboose #56 at the Railroad Historical Museum

Today Caboose #56 was delivered to its new home at the Railroad Historical Museum in Springfield, Missouri.  The shed was unloaded, track laid, and the caboose rolled into position.  The track will be ballasted soon and the everything will be ready for display.

The museum is located at Grant Beach park, and is home to Frisco 4-8-4 steam locomotive #4524 as well as many other railroad artifacts.  It is open on Saturday afternoons from 2 - 4 PM from May through October.  The museum is ran and maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers... stop in, see the little caboose and the big steam locomotive and say "Hi"!
