Perhaps the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay would be of help: http://

Dear Friends:
The Stone Lake Area Historical Society is searching for a wood caboose. We
want to make it part of our new depot/museum and in it, have our "Railroad
Experience". Since our town was born because the railroad needed water fr
om our lake for its steam engines, we feel the railroad should be an import
ant part of our new historical museum project.
We have been told that whenever a museum is going to de-accession something
, they offer it as a gift to other museums before offering it for sale to t
he general public. We felt that someone might have a caboose they would li
ke to give to another museum, and not even know we are seeking one.
Is there any chance that anyone out there knows of a wood caboose that need
s a wonderful new home at our museum site? We would be the best caretakers
of this caboose that you could ever find.
If you know of such a caboose, please E-mail me at tncmcd@aol.com<mailto:tn
cmcd@aol.com> and I will respond immediately.
Thank you so much!
Carol McDonnell, Project Coordinator
