Those using the drive-thru at McDonalds can see this bright red caboose. Appears to have been used previously for another local use as there is a deck behind it connecting to parking spaces. Locked up with some windows boarded.

This 36 ft long caboose was originally built in 1954 for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad Company (aka "Nickel Plate Road") as car number 780 assembled in the Ironville, Ohio shops. It was subsequently renumbered by Norfolk & Western Railroad as car 557780 when it was in use. This type of caboose is considered a Cupola, "Standard" caboose
