Grand Encampment Museum's newest exhibit

This caboose was built about 1890 on the East Coast. It was purchased by the S&E RR in 1903 and served on that line from 1908 until 1928 when it was abandoned on a side track in Encampment. Eventually, it was moved to a residence in Riverside, Wyo., and used as storage and a workshop. In 2014, the Caboose was moved to the GEM grounds.

Over the years the unit has been renovated, the roof sealed, siding painted and replaced as necessary and a deck built in the fall of 2016. Exhibit and interpretive planning is completed.

The S&E Caboose Renovation Project is funded by donations, memorials, and grants. Folks interested in donating to this project, may do so by notifying the GEM staff in person at 807 Barnett Ave. in Encampment, or call (307) 327-5308 or online at GEMuseum.com.
