Nostalgia & History > Old Rock Island Caboose stored in Colorado SpringsDate: 06/08/07 11:00 Old Rock Island Caboose stored in Colorado Springs Author: superfleet I remember seeing many times an old wooden Rock Island caboose stored in what looked like a trash hauler's business alongside the Midland Expressway (US24) in Colorado Springs. I have not been back to the Springs in 10+ years, is the caboose still there, and does anyone have a recent picture of it? And the tracks that it sat on, are they original rail or just laid there for the caboose to sit on it? What's the story on this caboose?
Has anyone purchased the former Colorado Midland roundhouse yet, I heard that Van Briggle Pottery was wanting to downsize and move.... Thanks! Dan |
