    Tips

    January 19, 2024

    As you traverse the trails through Saint James Farm, you'll come across a hidden gem of railroad history. Nestled amidst the trees is Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad caboose #14351, built in 1906 in Aurora to provide shelter and rest for rail crews. This classic NE-1 waycar once rolled across the Midwest with the East End Way Freight, before being retired in 1977. Rescued and relocated here, it now delights hikers with a glimpse into the golden age of American railroads. Pause to admire the antique lettering, sturdy construction, and imagine the crews who rode this caboose over a century ago.
