In 1986 Ron Bartl bought a 1923 Great Northern Railway caboose for $2,900 from a man who bought it from the Burlington Northern Railroad. Bartl decked it out with cable TV, heat, shower, toilet, and phone (no Internet?). Bartl thought he’d use it as guest quarters for his Bellevue, WA house, but now that he’s moving to a smaller home, he’s listed the furnished caboose for sale on CraigsList at $50,000. With plenty of train nuts in this area (and well-to-do ones at that), this caboose may not have to travel far to its next home.
