Album Info:While passing through Ottawa, IL on the way home from a trip to Missouri in 2010, we spotted a familiar shape. Sitting forlornly on a siding but still showing its strong green and yellow colors, this Burlington Northern caboose has been at the mercy of the local hooligans. Busted windows and graffiti paint marred the once pristine caboose. Hope something was done a year ago to restore this car before it's too late.
