IL Caboose list says "MILW 992054 as Chicago Great Western, steel, bay window, rib sided, Depot Museum", but again the numbering I saw was 2034. Also, the Museum's website (
visit link) show a red painted caboose, while now it is yellow. The museum was not open when we visited. It is housed in a depot building which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
