Last Train to Lake Geneva |
| Description: |
Literally. From what I've learned via a Facebook group, a total of 43 cabooses of CGW and Milwaukee Road heritage were shoved here over the already embargoed line in 1981 in order to establish the "End of the Line Caboose Motel" at this location. The line down to the current end-of-track at Ringwood, IL was dismantled beginning the following day. The C&NW branch line once extended all the way to Williams Bay. Now a small piece is used as a branch line for Metra service to McHenry off the Harvard Sub main at Crystal Lake, with freight only from McHenry to end-of-track at the DOW plant in Ringwood. |

| Title: |
"Caboose No. 2" |
| Description: |
Ex-CGW. Built 5/46, received/inspected by C&NW 5/77. Five cabooses are in a line south of the office, with 38 more north of it. Some are ex-Milwaukee Road in the ribside/bay window style, and some of those are welded together to form "double-wides." This was established as the End of the Line Caboose Motel; now they are privately owned condominiums. |
