Due to constant vandalism the village of Deshler is putting the caboose up for sale.it is located in the northeast part of town in a park by the swimming pool.it is the same caboose that is in my avatar picture.I haven't had the chance to actually see what condition it's in but I understand it's in rough shape.Bids will be taken until nov 14th I believe.Wish i had some extra $$ in my piggy bank.

More discussion at TrainOrders.com, including why it's not at the railroad park:

Apparently it's bay-window C3784:

The caboose is behind the community swimming pool at 420 N. Oak St., off on a "deserted" edge of town. The Google Street View-Mobile drove right through the parking lot, so it's readily visible on Street View on Google. (Try "570 Glendale Avenue" for some strange reason.)
