Cabooses

IMG_0395_mini

Canadian National 79274 steel caboose was built in 1967 by Hawker Siddeley. The caboose was originally a CN caboose used from 1967-1986, then it was put into service by Dupont Canada in Maitland, ON. The caboose, built with steel, is modern in comparison to the wooden cabooses at the Railway Museum. More information can be found under "Overnight on a Caboose".

Canadian Pacific 437169 plywood caboose was built by Angus Shops in Montreal, Quebec in May 1945.  This caboose was built during the WWII material rationing period and thus has plywood siding. The caboose was used in the Smiths Falls area and is now fully restored and used as a museum work car.

P1380447

Canadian National 79095 wood caboose was built in 1947 in CNR’s London Shops. This caboose was part of a group of 15. In 1983, it was retired after almost 20 years of service. In 2001, it was donated to RMEO and has been restored. More information can be found under "Overnight on a Caboose".

Canadian Pacific 437183 plywood caboose was built in the same series as our yellow caboose. It was made with plywood siding as a result of rationing wood, food and other products during and after WWII. More information can be found under 'Overnight on a Caboose".
