From eddiesrailroadblog: "Antique steel cupola caboose from the Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad mainline passed through south suburban Tinley Park, Illinois. After the abandonment of its assets, the mainline through Tinley Park was sold off to the midwest regional railroad "Iowa Interstate." Metra commuter trains from Chicago to Joliet pass through Tinley Park daily, just like the Rock Island trains did."

Located in Freedom Park near the library.
