It's behind a fence so photography is limited. Beautiful red paint job.

From (visit link)

"MP 13144 as MP 12144, steel, cupola, built 5/55, Wheeler Home Farm School, Co Rds 3800N & 470E"

I was able to use the above location info to find the spot, but very happy I had my Garmin Nuvi helping out! The "Wheeler Home Farm School" must be the area behind the fence, which looked like a farm, including barns and chickens. Didn't see any people though!

High-tailed it out of there on to the next caboose in Danville.
