Rock Island caboose

Hi,

There's a wood, cupola, outside braced, RI 17786 caboose in the IC/ICG/CN Glenn Yard, Chicago, IL.

Who owns this caboose? It certainly isn't CN!

Thanks, Roger

Hi,

There's a 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 turns out to be RI 17869, Jaycee Grove Park, Tinley Park, IL.

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

The one in Rock Falls came from Bettendorf. Unless they got another one but we had one as a food stand at a driving range. It has since moved to the Rock Falls area.

Hi,

Steel, wide vision cupola, RI 17042/Oakton Junction 2400 caboose has been at Badger & Oakton Rds., Des Plaines, for quite a while. Some time ago, it was reported as for sale.

Is it still at the above location or has it been sold and moved? If sold, where did it go?

Thanks, Roger
