This particular caboose (painted orange) was on the lot of the old Shand's school house near Bellwood, Ontario from the 1970s up through the 1990s. My parents lived nearby (for a few years) and owners allowed us kids in the neighbourhood to play in the caboose whenever we wanted. Not sure what happened to 77717, I hope it didn't end up in the scrap yard. Photo from Guelph Public Library |
