NOTE: I have tried to list all cabooses that are on display, stored near public access or privately owned. Some of the stored and most private cabooses require permission prior to inspection. Some locations are from other listings, including railroad historical societies, and some of this information is old. I have visited many of these hacks but some may have been moved or scrapped. If you know of captive cabooses not on the list or have corrections to the information, please let me know. Thanks, Roger Kirkpatrick
