My Railroad Collection

My Railroad Collection

When I opened the Country Caboose in October 1989, I had started a small collection of
railroadiana just to have some items of "historical significance" in the shop - and to give the guys
something to look at while their wives were shopping! Little did I know that at that time,
the "collectors' bug" was taking over! Now, nearly nineteen years later, I have a small museum
of railroadiana, mostly from the Santa Fe, located in the two cabooses. In the metal Santa Fe Caboose,
I have all of my "real" railroadiana - items used on, by, or for the railroads. In the wooden Frisco Caboose,
all of my other train related collectibles are on display. Sorry, they're not for sale!
