Decades of rail history, yours for the night
X601 — the Moose Caboose — step back in time and experience the golden age of rail travel in this beautifully restored 1949 Bay Window Steel Caboose. Once part of America's working railroad, this one-of-a-kind retreat has been thoughtfully transformed into a cozy getaway while preserving the character and charm that made cabooses an iconic part of railroad history.
Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchenette, a full bathroom, and accommodations for up to three guests. Original details blend with modern comforts, creating a space that's equal parts nostalgic and relaxing. The caboose's signature viewing platform and an additional deck are the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or unwind in the evening as trains roll by — a timeless reminder of the romance of the rails.
She still smells like the railroad — oil and oak and something older. That's not something you can fake.
Sleeping quarters
Drift off to sleep in a one-of-a-kind train car retreat designed for both comfort and unforgettable views. The sleeping quarters feature a full-size adjustable bed, perfectly positioned so you can elevate your head and watch trains roll past through the large bay window from the comfort of your bed. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or winding down for the evening, the ever-changing railway scenery creates a truly unique experience.
The room also includes a comfortable daybed that serves as both a cozy couch and an additional sleeping space for a third guest. Stretch out to watch TV, read a book, or simply relax after a day of exploring. Thoughtfully designed to blend vintage railcar charm with modern comforts, this inviting space offers the perfect place to rest, unwind, and enjoy the timeless appeal of life by the tracks.
The caboose cookhouse
The caboose kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals while preserving the charm of this unique railcar retreat. You'll find a single-burner induction cooktop, a versatile countertop oven that also functions as an air fryer and roaster, and a sink for easy meal prep and cleanup. A vintage-style refrigerator adds a nostalgic touch while providing modern convenience for keeping your food and beverages chilled.
Whether you're brewing your morning coffee, preparing a quick breakfast before your adventures, or enjoying a cozy dinner after a day of sightseeing, the kitchenette offers the perfect blend of functionality and classic railroad character.
The observation platform
Step onto the caboose's original steel observation platform and experience one of the most iconic features of this unique stay. Once the place where train crews watched the rails behind them, this historic platform now offers guests a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of passing trains.
Just beyond the observation platform, an adjoining deck provides a comfortable space to sit back, relax, and take it all in. No city glow, and the traffic noise fades away. This outdoor retreat offers a peaceful setting for rail enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a slower pace — the perfect place to unwind, soak in the atmosphere, and create lasting memories in a truly one-of-a-kind caboose experience.
