Does anyone know anything about a railroad caboose that is supposedly in Solomons, MD?

I frequent a railroad website (Railroad.Net) and a poster there, who keeps track of existing railroad cabooses in the US posted a query about a caboose that is in Solomons. I've never heard of it but I usually stay close to home in the La Plata area. Can anyone shed some light on this?

You can read the Railroad.Net thread here.

PS-I'm aware of the caboose that used to be in Chesapeake Beach, I don't believe this is the same one.

Are you talking about the transportation trolley?

I've seen lots of caboose in Solomons. You'll have to be more specific. :shrug:

I haven't seen one unless it's in storage or somewhere being restored.

I haven't heard of anything either. I belong to TrainOrders.com and Railpictures.net and have not seen mention of anything, although there aren't many rail enthusiasts in this area. Might be worth a drive around Solomons to find it though.

Yup! It's Stoney's at Solomons Pier! Wait until the end of the message and dial 300 to talk to a live person. They can give you more info about the trolly (they own it)
