Remember this one?

Simpson Caboose 800. Do any of our followers remember this little gem? The only caption we have on this is "Built Simpson Car Shop 1970?" Though it is a similar design to the 700 located in downtown Shelton, there are several differences. Can you spot them? Visit http://www.masoncountyhistoricalsociety.org/red-caboose.html for more information on the 700 caboose, and please like and follow this museum page for more great history!

Lawrence Larson, Conductor at time photo was taken, is now Supt. of Simpson's Railroad Operation." Photo by Harold Borovec, PRLM Collection.
