Stepping Into Railroad History

There’s something timeless about a railroad caboose. More than a relic, it’s a rolling piece of Americana—where crews shared stories, kids waved from crossings, and the rhythm of the rails shaped adventures. At Caboose Falls, we're working to preserve that legacy.

By Any Other Name…
Railroaders gave cabooses colorful nicknames—crummy, waycar, hack, shanty—each a tribute to their rugged, beloved role on the rails.

We’d Love to Hear From You!
