This extended vision caboose is now on permanent display as a Visitor Center for the city of Helena, Alabama. The spot the caboose is sitting was the location of the L&N Helena Depot, which was moved about 100ft north years ago and now is a restaurant called "The Depot". You can enter the caboose if you visit while the Visitor Center is open.

This was actually a C&O 903303, and sits between CSX's S&NA South Sub and the Lineville Sub that crosses a few hundred feet north. The current L&N paint job is not original, and the number 35080 is Helena's postal Zip Code.
Current Use:
Visitor Center for the city of Helena, Alabama.


Type Of Caboose: Extended Vision

Visit Instructions:
Please visit the location of the caboose, brake van, or guard van, provide visit details through photo or narrative.
