    Caboose SLSF 1115 located in Webb City, MO.

    Photograph dated 1/30/2000.

    Edit 4/15/2024: The caboose was formerly located in downtown on the northeast quadrant of West Broadway Street and North Webb Street in Webb City, MO. It was relocated around 2000 from Webb City.

    It was then located for several years at a business called the Country Caboose, 1100 North Prospect Avenue, Duenweg (Joplin), Jasper County, MO. Duenweg is on the southeast edge of Joplin, MO.

    When that business closed in 2009 the car was donated to the Wheaton Historical Society for use with their newly rebuilt Missouri & North Arkansas (M&NA) depot. It was moved from the Joplin area to Wheaton, MO on 12/1/2009.

    It is currently located adjacent to the east of the Wheaton Historical Society and Depot Museum, 311 East Main Street, Wheaton, MO 64874. Please see the following link.

    Edit 4/15/2024: Caboose had been on display in the city's Atchley Park, 1805 Lynn Street, Lebanon, MO 65536.

    I'm trying to find the origins of the Bay-window caboose number 1184.

    It seems that it was a rebuild by Frisco from a Frisco built 1100, ex-10-26 series perhaps.

    What makes more unusual is the caboose has a "Radio Equipped" stencil on the bay. Although typically it has plywood sides and distinctive high end windows.

    Any help would be appreciated for the book.

    Thanks Nick Molo

    SLSF 1100 Series - 2001

    I'm guessing this is an 1100 series caboose. All I know for certain is it's a wood sheathed caboose, and it's located in a small salvage yard at Nichols

    Caboose SLSF 1192

    To Roger477

    Restoration work has commenced in 2002 on caboose SLSF 1192 in Willow Springs, MO.

    I have photographed it and measured all lettering and logos extensively. The Spring Pack stencils near the wheels are almost completely illegible. I am making stencils for this caboose and the restoration effort.

    Do you or anyone else have information on the area that is nearly illegible?

    Cabooses SLSF 1171 in Aurora , MO and SLSF 1134 in Monett, MO might have the information, but I cannot tell. I have been recalled to active duty and sure would appreciate any help.

    I have drawn all markings in CAD and can furnish to interested parties at cost of media and shipping only.
