Built for the Illinois Central Gulf as a steel caboose, in very original condition with all original interior fixtures as retired by the railroad. There is some smoke damage on the interior near the old oil stove, this is limited to the wall and ceiling panels and did not effect the structure of the car. This is a GREAT car for that person looking for an authentic original ICG caboose for use on a shortline or in your own back yard. Some of the mechanical details include: Good body, roller bearings, large platforms on each end (great place to relax and enjoy the view), original interior, Microphor toilet & tank. 116' of rails, ties, etc are included in the sales price of this car.
