    This is one of the Frisco built wood side cabooses that has a wood copula with sloped sides and small end windows. The photographs indicate the caboose is in need of a new paint job. There are also a few other railroad items near the caboose including a dwarf signal and a grade crossing cross buck sign.

    This caboose appears to be sitting on the ground and no longer has its trucks. The owner has added a Railway Express Agency sign to the left (east) side above the windows.

    The caboose is located northwest of the intersections of US Highway 69 and US Highway 54 (a/k/a Kansas Highway 7) just north of Fort Scott, KS. The car is located at a private residence on the west side of the street.

    The caboose location address is 1472 215th Street, Ft. Scott, KS.

    A special thank you to local resident Vicki for her kind assistance and help to pinpoint the specific location and address of this Frisco historical artifact.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    If you are in the area, do not forget to also see Frisco (former NEO) caboose SLSF 1110. It is located in the south part of Fort Scott in the city's Fisher Park. That caboose location address is 700 South State Street (next to US Highway 69 (a/k/a Kansas 7 Highway)). This caboose is also on the west side of the street and highway.

    Please see http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...oid=MRT-s0_9qR1CW2D-aWPR1w&cbp=11,253.79,,0,5

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
