IC 9764 Caboose in Jackson TN

            A stationary Illinois Central (IC) caboose in Jackson, Tennessee (Madison County) at the Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum.  It is at the end of the “Casey Jones train” which sits outside and behind the museum giving the appearance of being at a station.  The caboose is squeezed between the station platform and a chain link fence, plus it is partially at the station and partially behind the house, making it difficult to see in its entirety. 

It is a cupola “standard” steel caboose with no markings at present. It is known as being Illinois Central (IC) caboose number 9764 built by the IC in 1940.  It has an unusual design in that the porch roofs are not supported by metal bars attached to the platforms.  The roof ends carry their own weight.  In addition, the steps to the platform do not jut out beyond the sides of the caboose which results in a smaller than usual porch.

The outside of the caboose has not been modified since its railroad days.  The inside has been preserved but equipped with city electricity (no plumbing).   Visitors must pay a museum fee to see the caboose and are not allowed to climb on or go inside the caboose.
