Item Description
Spend the night in the 19th century in a working National Historic Landmark rail yard – sleep in a working caboose! The creature comforts are rather thin, a bunk and an oil stove. No electricity, no air conditioning (but not to worry, the evenings are always cool in the high desert), no wi-fi, no tv, but yes your cellphone will work.
Sit in the cupola and watch as the sun goes down. Imagine what it was like during the heyday of the railroad. It’s not that hard to do, you can see where the paint has rubbed off the walls, where countless conductors and brakemen have sat watching the train as the miles roll by.
At night, the rail yard becomes eerily quiet. Soon all you hear is the hooting of the owl that lives in the coaling tower. Climb into your bunk and you can visualize what it was like during the day. Soon morning comes and sunlight fills the caboose and the rail yard comes alive. Locomotives move about getting ready for another day of railroading.
Guests that stay in the caboose have access to the restrooms, showers and kitchen that are in the nearby bunkhouse. The caboose has room for three.
Guest will also have tickets to ride the excursion train when available.
