Thinking of you

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 ?
