The Little Brown Caboose

The Little Brown Caboose stays true to her heritage as part of the Sante Fe line with warm Southwestern decor throughout.  Her marbled hickory ceiling, natural stone counters, amber glass chandelier, tranquil tile bathroom and pass-through dining window, make this one ideal for inside-out living.  Rescued years ago by a senior railroad lover in Indiana, she was converted to a passenger train for rides at a local train depot.  Large picture windows now frame the dramatic landscape right outside your door.  The Little Brown Caboose, located at one end of the line, makes it the only train with views of the fields AND lake beyond, both which can be enjoyed from your own 35’ covered porch or from your private fire pit. With views that are off the tracks, comfortable sleeping for 4 and an open floor plan, this is one ride you don’t want to miss. All aboard!
