    The caboose was constructed in 1927 by American car and Foundry (ACF) for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. On that line the caboose was numbered ATSF 1533. This is one of the former Santa Fe 1500 series cabooses.

    The Frisco acquired this caboose 9/1969 and several others from the Santa Fe in the late 1960s to replace its older wood side cabooses. This caboose was designated for local service.

    The caboose was donated to the city in 1981 and is on public display in Centennial Park in downtown Rogers, AR. The caboose is managed by the Rogers Historical Museum, 322 South Second Street. The caboose interior is open for display to the public during regular Museum hours, May 1 through October 31.

    The caboose address is 104 East Walnut Street.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
