    Please see the following link for a view of Frisco caboose SLSF 1187.

    This is one of the Frisco built wood cabooses with a vertical side, steel cupola. This car was constructed in 1942.

    These cabooses were originally numbered with 2 or 3 digit numbers. After the acquisition of the 200 series all steel extended or wide vision cabooses in 1957, this car was demoted to local service. In 1968 all Frisco cabooses were renumbered to avoid conflict with locomotive numbers in a new computer system.

    The caboose is located approximately 3.4 miles south and west of Osceola, Mississippi County, AR, at a farm east of U.S. Highway 61. Car is on the southeast quadrant of E. County Road 860 (a/k/a Rotan Rd.) and S. County Road 551, approximately 2,500 feet north of State Highway 119. This is near the north south dirt strip runway of the Ohlendorf Airport.

    The car address is 3700 S. County Road 551, Osceola, AR.

    Please see http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...990431&spn=0.000598,0.001502&t=h&z=20&iwloc=A.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
