where I learned that:

"The Illinois Central is the only major rail carrier in the United States still operating essentially under its own name without interruption after nearly a century-and -a-half since its founding. In its long and colorful history, the IC achieved many "firsts" in the fields of commerce, transportation and western settlement."

Found on my 3-day central IL caboose waymarking binge!

Current Use: display next to museum, along with other rail cars Type Of Caboose: Extended Vision
