    Please see the following link for a photograph of Frisco caboose SLSF 659.

    This caboose is of the early Frisco standard design that featured a wood cupola with tapered side walls and small end windows. The side and end windows on this car have been covered with planks of wood. An interesting variation on this caboose the car body end window above the steps appears to be larger than on most similar cars.

    The caboose is located on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Fair Park, at the Transportation Building. The car is located in a covered and fenced recess in the side of the building. The fairgrounds are located immediately to the southeast of Interstate Highway I-44 and Northwest 10th Street, Exit 121. This is about 3 miles west of the heart of the downtown.

    The location address is 3001 General Pershing Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
