This caboose village in Big Rock County Mountain was originally built by George Jones who spent a lifetime working on the rail road. He converted and preserved many trains and caboose's and made train conversions into train caboose tiny houses where you could come and experience the thrill of staying in a historic train car

My husband grew up in passenger coach that was modified for living. His dad worked for Southern Pacific who provided the cars for employees and familes. When the work moved, Southern Pacific moved the cars to the new locations.

The box car children book is the bomb

I have known 2 different men who have lived in converted railroad cars. One was a crew member of the bridges and buildings crew for the Union Pacific and he lived in a full sized rail car with a kitchen, bathroom and multiple bedrooms. The other lived in a converted caboose. He was an electrical contractor and would post photos of himself on his attached deck, eating dinner while herds of elk wandered through his yard.
Both of them enjoyed their living arrangements. The caboose was far smaller but it was decorated inside much nicer. I would say that I would prefer the caboose, as I live in an efficient small apartment that has been built inside my huge barn/shop.

When I was a child, we lived in an outfit car for a year when my dad was a Signal Foreman. My father later was a General Chairman in the union. He was very good friends with George Jones. George and his wife came to my dad’s funeral a few years ago and told us about this place. He must have been sad to sell it, but it looks like it’s in great hands!

My dad ought a caboose about fifty years and turned it into our summer home. I loved it. Wish I we still had it now.

This is bringing back so many memories! In the mid 70s, I lived in Durham, North Carolina, and worked in a steakhouse that was three cars of a train in the parking lot of the shopping center. It was a busy place, despite its small size. The food was really good, but I think the fact that it was in a train was the biggest draw. It's where I opened my first bottle of champagne, without any instruction at all, and saw the cork ricochet three or four times from side to side without hitting a soul. That night, there was entertainment to go with dinner. 😊

'Could You Live in a Train Carriage'?
Yes, my parents did so for four years in a train carriage less than half that size. With two small children and without luxury.

Any concept that breaks up the monotony will always be a breath of fresh air. As you can tell that said person/s is living and expressing themselves from one else. The whole point of having an imagination (of your own) is to make the best of what you like and have to make a life for ***you yours. I'm sure that if most weren't so bent on being like and living like they see others do, anything (especially if safe and comfortable) would be an interest to explore.

This house is amazing, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, you guys made the train into a fantastic home congrats on your house

That looks like a super fun stop off for a Family traveling in the mountains. Also for adults who may be in love with trains and want to experience that on the trip. Beautiful scenery, maybe some fly fishing in that river? Whatever it is it looks like a good place for a stopover

Big thumbs up and absolutely beautiful.
There are thousands of descriptive words but I think she is stuck on the word 'FUN'.

[Hadassah-KaquoliMReno]

I’ve always have loved the caboose on the old Trains! I miss seeing them on today’s trains. I love your place!

[murielmacdonald]

I live in this in a heart beat. How awesome. Note from canada.

[remibelle]

This is amazing! When my baby birdies fly out of my nest I’d love to live in one of those. 🚂 ❤

This is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever seen. Never knew it existed. I am a train freak and this just exceeded any expectations I could have. Thank you so very much for saving these beautiful pieces of history. Your conversations are excellent. You have preserved the original history while adding todays comforts. I have to find a way to come out there and stay and try out more then one of the cars. Bless you all and wishing you all the best to keep it alive and have more train people find you.🙏🤩😱♥️
