The list all captive cabooses that are on display, stored near public access or privately owned. Some of the stored and most private cabooses require permission prior to inspection. Some locations are from other listings, including railroad historical societies, and this information is old. Some may have been moved or scrapped since this list was orginially compiled by Roger Kirkpatrick in September 1999.

Recent Cabooses notes & locations updated: 01441, 01447, 0576, 0579 and 0584. If you know of captive Rio Grande cabooses not on the list or have updates or corrections to the information below, we'd love to hear about it.
