Built in 1942 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as a steel caboose. Rebuilt by the AT&SF in 1969 and it was eventually sold into private ownership and moved to a landlocked location. The interior was removed to create an art studio and the car would make a great cabin, guest house or Bed & Breakfast. Some of the physical attributes include Good body & roof, roller bearings, ABD brake valves.
Q- How much does it cost to ship a caboose by truck?
A- The cost to ship a caboose by truck is based on mileage and local crane costs. On an average, you can expect to spend a minimum of $8,000-$10,000 if a car is 1 to 2 hours from the final destination. And a minimum of $15,000-$25,000 if the car is further away. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and we do have several qualified companies we can recommend to assist in the shipping process. If the buyer plans on making the shipping arrangements with a service provider of their choosing, we can assist with speaking with the service provider on what will be required to get the car moved. Often a service provider will either quote high or won't quote at all if they have never moved railroad equipment. After speaking with us, they normally feel more at ease in quoting the job.
