UP 25223 -- Cisco TX - Train Cabooses on Waymarking.com

This retired Union Pacific caboose stands in a small family Park on the far eastern edge of the Conrad Hilton Center in downtown Cisco, Texas. The caboose is locked, but you can climb on it in peek inside.

The UP caboose makes sense here because Cisco is located on the Texas & Pacific Railroad, which was purchased in 1928 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The Missouri Pacific allowed the T&P to operate separately until 1976. Four years later the Union Pacific bought the Missouri Pacific. Source: Wikipedia (visit link)
