One day while out railfanning south of the St. Louis area, I came across an old Missouri Pacific (MoPac) platform caboose that was just sitting, rusting away in the weeds at Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. These old MoPac platform cabooses have always struck me as being an interesting design. One would look great in my backyard so that I could setup a grill on one of the caboose's decks.
