How much does a caboose cost?

The price of a caboose (like a car or house) can go from very low (or free) to over a hundred thousand dollars. Most cabooses now seem to be selling in the 10-20 thousand dollar range. Of course one in top condition will go for much more and you might get a bargain if someone is in a hurry to sell one.

Where can I buy a caboose?

Our Links page lists some sites that sell cabooses. Rich Eichhorst, ARCHES president, often has some cabooses for sale. You can reach him at the address and/or phone number at the bottom this page. If you are a member of ARCHES you can ask other members for leads on the Members Bulletin Board page.

Where can I find the color scheme used by XYZ railroad in 19xx?

You might look for the XYZ railroad on the RR Historical Society Index Site on our Links page. Also on our Links page are some sites that have caboose photos that might help. Check your local library for books on XYZ railroad. We print a Caboose Book Bibliography once a year as part of our Caboose News that might list a book on XYZ railroad.

I would like to report a caboose that is not in your book,
