Jerry LaBoda General Don't know whose wild idea this is but the caboose is MILW, not Rock Ilsand. 5/21/2008 9:15:01 PM
Zachary DeVore General This caboose has been on display in Wilton for a long time - as far as I can remember, it was always displayed as "Rock Island." My guess is that like many cities, they got whatever caboose they could find and repainted it to reflect the line's history (this is along the former Rock Island Chicago-Counsel Bluffs mainline) rather than the caboose's history. 5/22/2008 9:44:04 AM
