UPDATE: August 2018; It has come to our attention that this caboose was hit by a tornado in May of 2011. Knocked off its track and laying on its side, it became too expensive a proposition to restore its position and continue with the bed and breakfast. The owner decided not to attempt to restore. We are uncertain what became of this caboose, which apparently was moved to another location.
Out on our caboose search, we came upon a very unique situation. There are two cabooses (or is that caboosi) located at the Red Rooster Inn, in addition to a log cabin Bed and Breakfast. They are located at 15830 N.W. Expressway, just west of Oklahoma City.
Caboose BN 11766 is a guest room. It is painted Yellow, dubbed "The Prairie Chicken," and fully remodeled within. Accommodations include heat/AC, queen sized bed, TV, fridge, microwave, an electric log fireplace and a whirlpool bath. It rents for $135.00 per night. Railfan indicates that this car was trucked from the Ada area.
