Hello Julie, Matt and Family, Licata Family, and Betty,

The Caboose you ask about arrived in Jimtown from Rollinsville, sometime in the 70's.
Timewise, that's as close as I know.
But, - the Caboose was loaded on a large flatbed truck in Rollinsville and made the journey to Jimtown.

Jim Morehouse (who I was Lucky to get a job in High-tech with((after being a Baker))
traveled with the Caboose from Rollinsville.
When they got to Overland Road, he climbed up the built-in ladder on the back.

And rode down Overland Road on TOP of the Caboose !

YEE -HAW !!

Or Holy 5hit !!


Anyway-

that's All I know--


It is a Beautiful Thing,

and imagine where it Traveled before landing Here---

Thanks Sal.  Can anyone tell me about the history of the caboose?

Thanks Randy! Yep the caboose was brought here by Morehouse in the ‘70 to be a bedroom for their 3 sons. Morehouse got it from Jimmy Keith. JK bought 12 cabooses from the company after they closed- they’re spread around the canyons- Lyons, Ned, Lefthand, etc.

However our specific caboose- is an 1890’s Drovers’ caboose- these cabooses were used to house the cowboys. Trains used to transport cattle- trains would breakdown -cattle died- so they started adding cowboys and horses to release the cattle and let them graze until the train was fixed.

Hope this helps ?
