This caboose was originally SOO 267 it has been fake painted to Chicago Northwestern colors. This is probably because the town of Eyota, Minnesota is along the former Chicago Northwestern mainline.
Today the line is owned by Canadian Pacific (DM&E) and is still active with 2-4 trains a day. The All American Coop is located here which ships fertilizer by rail. The caboose is a reminder of Eyota's rich rail heritage.
