This caboose is located in the beautiful little town of St. Marys, Ontario. It is located beside an old stone defunct railway station, (St. Marys JCT) at 480 Glass Street. I do not know how old it is, upon visual inspection, I looked for some marking, or date stamp to show it's date of manufacture, but could find no information. It obviously belonged to the Grand Trunk Railway.
If you look closely at one of the pictures, you will notice an auxillary generator of some sort which seems to be driven from one of the axles. Also note the handy toolbox mounted beneath the caboose.
This display is free to all who come and visit. Parking can be found at the small gravel lot right off Glass Street.
Current Use:
The caboose is now used as a park display.
Type Of Caboose: Cupola, "Standard"
