Rock Island caboose

Hi,

I'm trying to track down steel, wide vision cupola, RI 17057 caboose. It was at Wayerworks Park, Morrison, IL, but it is reported to be gone from that location.

Rumor has it going to Rock Falls, IL. Can anyone confirm the current location of this caboose?

Thanks, Roger

Hi,

There's a RI caboose reported as "RI #?, steel or wood?, cupola or not?, Lockport or Orland Park?, IL, with other equipment and a miniature railroad".

Does this ring a bell with anyone? It would be nice to get a few answers on this caboose!

Thanks, Roger

The above is actually RI 17869, Jaycee Grove Park, Tinley Park, IL.

Hi,

Wood, cupola, outside braced, RI 17786 caboose is reported to be in the IC Glenn Yard.

Who owns this caboose?

Thanks, Roger

Hi,

RI 17885 caboose is reported as "east of Harvard, IL, possibly owned by Warren Chiesa". I assume it's a steel, cupola, caboose sitting on a panel track.

Does anyone have a better address/location for the car?

Thanks, Roger

Hi,

The Bettendorf, IA, car was RI 17011 and the Morrison, IL, car was RI 17057.

Ther's also a Rock Falls, IA, near Mason City, so ...?
