Illinois Central (or N&W) cabooses, Depot Restaurant - Lincoln, IL - Train Cabooses on Waymarking.com

From Illinois Cabeese: (visit link)
IC no markings, no trucks, Depot Restaurant, 101 North Chicago Street, 62656
IC as IC 18398, no trucks, Depot Restaurant, 101 North Chicago Street, 62656

The restaurant wasn't open when I visited and I could not see any markings. It appears that these might be used for office or storage space. Both in need of repair and a paint job.

Lincoln was quite a rail town. There is a very extensive article with comments entitled The Living Railroad Heritage of Lincoln, Illinois:on Track as a Symbol of the "Usable Past" at (visit link)
