Restored UP Caboose at Nampa, Idaho
Author: donstrack

Nampa, Idaho, now has a nicely restored ex UP caboose, a steel CA-3 painted in its original red color.

The Idaho Press has a nice story...

Photo 3 is a Google street view from Sept 2016, showing the Nampa depot, which is itself worth a visit.

Thanks for posting...I'm so used to the yellow cabooses with slogans; don't recall seeing one painted this color. They did a great job.

As a former managing editor of the Idaho Press Trubune I’m pleased to see the news staff recognizes the railroad in their community.
