In
conjunction with the Niwot Business Association, the BCRHS is sponsoring a
caboose display in Niwot. The BCRHS's former Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy caboose #14649 was moved to Niwot in August 2003 and is
displayed alongside the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks in downtown
Niwot. CB&Q 14649 was built in May 1907 at the railroad's
Plattesmouth Nebraska shops. The CB&Q used wood cabooses like
14649 into the mid 1960's. The caboose donated by the Colorado
Railroad Museum, which acquired it in 1969, in 2002. |
