    When I was a child, we lived in an outfit car for a year when my dad was a Signal Foreman. My father later was a General Chairman in the union. He was very good friends with George Jones. George and his wife came to my dad’s funeral a few years ago and told us about this place. He must have been sad to sell it, but it looks like it’s in great hands!

    I have known 2 different men who have lived in converted railroad cars. One was a crew member of the bridges and buildings crew for the Union Pacific and he lived in a full sized rail car with a kitchen, bathroom and multiple bedrooms. The other lived in a converted caboose. He was an electrical contractor and would post photos of himself on his attached deck, eating dinner while herds of elk wandered through his yard.
    Both of them enjoyed their living arrangements. The caboose was far smaller but it was decorated inside much nicer. I would say that I would prefer the caboose, as I live in an efficient small apartment that has been built inside my huge barn/shop.

    Any concept that breaks up the monotony will always be a breath of fresh air. As you can tell that said person/s is living and expressing themselves from self.......no one else. The whole point of having an imagination (of your own) is to make the best of what you like and have to make a life for ***you ......and yours. I'm sure that if most weren't so bent on being like and living like they see others do, anything (especially if safe and comfortable) would be an interest to explore.

    This is bringing back so many memories! In the mid 70s, I lived in Durham, North Carolina, and worked in a steakhouse that was three cars of a train in the parking lot of the shopping center. It was a busy place, despite its small size. The food was really good, but I think the fact that it was in a train was the biggest draw. It's where I opened my first bottle of champagne, without any instruction at all, and saw the cork ricochet three or four times from side to side without hitting a soul. That night, there was entertainment to go with dinner. 😊

    I just read all the messages from one person regarding the book, "The Boxcar Children" and I have to tell you that book has been a favorite of mine my whole life. I too wanted to live in a boxcar, but those children were orphans when they found the boxcar. I am 77 years old and grew up in coal country and there were trains that ran right behind our home and I loved it. I went to first grade in a little one-roomed schoolhouse in our little town and that is when I first learned of the book. Our teacher would read it to us, chapter by chapter each day. After my sister and brother were all grown with families of their own, I ordered the original book to give to them at Christmas to read to their children. Of course, I still have my own.

    It's not a train. It's a single car. The largest passenger car ever built? Based on what - it's a typical coach of the streamliner era. The fluted side panels mark this as a car built by Budd. Pullman-Standard cars tended to be smooth sided. Why is it called the California Zephyr, just out of curiosity - the car is not a former CB&Q car. The missing "connector" is a "coupler". The electrical panel is a breaker box - it does not have fuses. It's a shame the passenger car is sitting on salvaged caboose trucks instead of its original passenger ones. Excellent interior renovation though.
    This train car at 5:50 is a caboose, as are most all the cars on the property. How long has it been on the property? The only railyard fire that comes to mind is the Roseville disaster of 1973 when a carload of ordnance bound for Vietnam caught fire and exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed a large portion of the yard and damaged nearby homes. Though painted in UP colors, UP didn't operate bay window cars like that. I suspect it's a former Southern Pacific car.
    To manually set the brakes, you turn the brakewheel clockwise until it's as tight as you can get it. The latching pawl in the housing behind it will keep it from releasing. To release the brakes, lift up on the release lever. This disengages the latching pawl and the brakewheel can then be freely spun counterclockwise until it stops, releasing the tension on the brake mechanism. The term "bay window" is correct for the "pop-outs" on the sides - they are called bay window cabooses. Conventional cabooses have a cupola extending above the roof.
    Number 7 is a 50 foot boxcar. Can't tell if it's possibly an American Car & Foundry product or Pullman-Standard - would have to see the ends.
    The caboose used for an office is former Burlington Northern extended vision caboose #12575. They are similar to conventional cabooses except the cupola is wider than the sides of the car to afford greater visibility.

      Robert Misspoke about the passenger car, it is just the largest car we have on our property, and the California Zephyr name is just for fun.
      The caboose involved in the train yard fire was a fire in Provo, UT train yard.
      Most of the names of the train cars are not necessarily associated with the railroad it came from, they are just for fun. 😊

    The ring elements on that Hotpoint cooker/stove at 4:08 don't look very safe, lol. A Hotpoint glass top halogen stove would look great there plus they use less power.
