L&N 263 Caboose in Huntingdon TN

            A stationary Louisville & Nashville  (L&N) caboose in Huntingdon, Tennessee (Carroll County).  It is prominently displayed in the town’s Historic Thomas Park, the site of the train depot until 1967.   A circular walkway with benches and a hedge garden adorns the caboose.  The bricks in the walkway come from the old train depot.

This is a cupola “standard” steel caboose.   The side markings show both “L&N 263” and “NC&StL” which stands for North Carolina & St. Louis Railroad.  This was previously a CSX caboose and before that a Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) C3521 caboose.  CSX donated the caboose to the town in 1995.

The outside of the caboose has not been modified since its railroad days.  The inside has been gutted of all its old benches, storage compartments and furnishings including the two lofts for the lookouts.  It has city electricity  but no plumbing.  The trucks do not appear to be on rails and are sunk into the ground.

This caboose is freely accessible to the public.  One can climb onto the platforms but not enter the caboose.
