Moving the Caboose!

We hired a crane company out of Portland to move the caboose 16 miles from Astoria Oregon to Seaside. All in all the move went very well. The caboose weighs 38,000 lbs total. The wheel assemblies weigh 7,000 lbs each.







We had to cut the cupola off or special permits would need to be obtained.



28,000 lbs of caboose is airborn!
 Up up and away!







7,000 lb wheel assembly














It fits!










 Safe in Seaside.
