Although the caboose was closed the day I stopped by, there is a wealth of information on the signs near by that tell the history of the original Great Northern Railroad line over Stevens Pass. The trail which is about 9 miles long climbs to the former town site of Wellington, just below the west side of Stevens Pass.
Current Use: Interpretive Center at the west end of the Iron Goat Trail.
Type Of Caboose: Cupola, "Standard"
