Purchased by T&NO in 1947 from American Car and Foundry Company. The C-30-4 type were the first bay window cabooses. This caboose was still in service at the time of the merger with Southern Pacific in 1961.
The original T&NO number is not known. The caboose was not upgraded to roller bearings, so it spent its later life in local service.
This particular caboose was used up until 1980, and was then donated t this museum.
Current Use:
Museum display.
Type Of Caboose: Bay Window
