Originally built in 1960 for the Boston & Maine Railroad, rebuilt by current owner into a private caboose. This car is in operating condition and stored on a shortline. The short line operator for a modest fee will take the car for a 4 hour 295 mile round trip through some of the most stunning scenery in the area. Currently stored on a private siding and Buyer can assume track lease or move the car to another location in North America. Many upgrades and improvements have been done to the car. As you walk into the car from the platform end you enter a cozy lounge/dining area with four swivel parlor chairs and tables and two sliding glass windows.
