Caboose SLSF "200" - Rogersville, MO

There is a Frisco caboose in Rogersville, MO.

It is a WW 1 and WW 2 memorial as well. They have done a great paint job, and the interior is nice as well.

Do not know the actual Frisco numbe , but it is marked SLSF 200.

 

Not able to agree that it is a great paint job but I will certainly say that it is very shiny and clean.

If the painters would only have used an actual Frisco paint diagram.

This is not Frisco caboose SLSF 200. However, it could very well be one of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy (CBQ) or Northern Pacific (NP) cabooses discussed on another thread.

I checked it against the SLSF 1400s and SLSF 1700s but the cupola windows are totally different.

Ship IT on the Frisco!

Better paint than the "just slap a coonskin on it" ones I have seen on my trips with my high school band through Missouri.

Even if it is not a Frisco caboose it is nice to see some Frisco colors along the lines.

Ship it on the Frisco!

I have some photographs of this as well.

I live only 18 miles east of Rogersville, MO.

 

Hi Wayne,

I was there about 3 weeks ago and could find no identification on the car.

Of course, I could not get inside to see if there were any hints there.

I think it is a former BN car, not one of the BN family roads.

Whatever group painted, they have the key to the doors and may have before repainting photographs.

Being so close, perhaps you could make a few inquiries in Rogersville?

Thanks,

Ken,

The faux caboose SLSF 200 and city park are located at 102 East Front Street, Rogersville, MO.

What was the caboose BN number?

Ken,

The faux caboose SLSF "1501" in the parking lot at 100 East 9th Street, Rolla, MO, is former Great Northern (GN) Railway caboose GN X-109

It in turn became BN 10149.

The paint job on 1501 in Rolla is a little better than the 200 in Rogersville but not much.

It would be great if those in charge of repainting would consult the contributors to this website so they could get the color, lettering, coonskin|-|, etc. right on these non-Frisco cabooses.

 

Whatever.

One of those railroads up in the "Great Green North".
