Why don't you have a TV show? I stumbled on your videos by accident. I'm a 60 year old woman, raised in the Midwest. Not an adventurous person at all. Now, I'm wishing I had a life like yours. You're so fun to watch and so damn intelligent, athletic and funny. God got stuck giving you so much talent, son!! Damn!!!
🚂🚂🚂. My gramma carried a picture of my grandpa standing in front of a caboose just like this one. He was a brakeman for years and in a freak accident lost his arm. Took hours to set him free and nearly died. My gram couldn’t handle all the moods he’d have later and while he was out with the boys took her three kids and jumped on a train for California. Before she died she game a trunk with journals he had kept. I nearly cried reading all his feelings as he searched for her and his family. Sadly one week before I found where he lived at MO/OK state line he had died. One year after gram had died too. Amazing stories about the train rides across country and how he loved to wave to all the kids from the caboose. Everything really fell in place for you as you acquired it and sure did a great job redoing it and preserving it too. I could envision him in that seat waving to kids. Don’t know how I happened onto your videos but I have a rough time sleeping at night and have thoroughly enjoyed watching many of your older videos while staying up. I applaud you for keeping up with your comments cuz that’s time consuming. I do hope you’ll be able to read this cuz this video was months ago. I wish to say that your place and all the work you’ve put into it is incredible. Do you have a degree in architecture or engineering? Your home is fitted with details the common man wouldn’t know how to do. And how you blended the ring and hangar is amazing. The security system you designed has so much detail it blows my mind. This is surely a forever home and ranch to be lived in and the land to be worked hopefully by your kids and grandkids forever in the future. So many places are just abandoned cuz it’s too much work. You apparently have lived a full life in the past with dreams of what you’ve created already. And that’s what I always get excited about.....the history and the hopes for this awesome place called home. We trained showed and bred 48 horses and AI was new discovery. Also knew a lady in Maryland that was using zebras and donkeys to clone her famous purebred Arabians from Poland. She kept them hidden way deep on her ranch cuz wasn’t acceptable at the time. When we bred horses it had to be done in a protective area so neighbors or public couldn’t see or county would fine you or shut you down if reported. In the 70s the AI was suppose to help the many stallions that had severe injuries from a wild mare breaking the tie downs and give a deadly kick. But then it was used for other things such as traveling a distance for a costly breeding leaving either horse there until the mare conceived. Always looking for the perfect pedigree and a lot of fails. We had a huge cattle run for many miles we’d always go on from the mountains to near San Diego and that included a chuck wagon like you have. Our dogs were trained like yours and today I still miss them. So many of the videos I’ve seen reminds me of distant time. A life I’d loved until an awful accident. No complaints about hard work and early rising although like you I hated the constant rain and snow and icy winds. A good sweat was better cus knew I’d be able to cool down. Your operation is so much larger but the work is the same. But the joys taking the small kids along like you did with your grandson those are moments never forgotten. Adding your helicopters has to be so exciting for them. In time that little guy will yearn and beg you to teach him cuz the freedom of the skies. The hard winter will be here soon and you’ll wish to ignore that damn clock. Once working and smelling the air and seeing what you own miles of land around you......then you’ll know how blessed you are. I miss that so now I’ll follow you and dream of what I once had and just the feeling of the great outdoors. Sorry this is long but I’ve really enjoyed watching all your videos and those I haven’t seen yet. You have a calming way of presenting yourself and so much to share. I am looking forward to next time and many more. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story. I don't have an engineering or architectural degree. I have a dyslexic mind. It makes me very good at designing and engineering things. I also have a wife named Bonnie!
Just plain cool. When I see ATSF, it's a family thing. My great grandfather came to America from Ireland, moved to Atchison, KS to work on the RR. The Bible says "don't envy" but I'm envious. Love the channel.
Love it! My grandson when he was about 4 was obsessed with the Thomas the tank trains. He had every piece of those trains My daughter and son-in-law took him to somewhere around Eureka Springs, Arkansas, took him a train ride and they stayed in a Caboose Bed and Breakfast. He is 28 now and still remembers it!
You did a nice job on the restoration remodel. As a former conductor I have spent a little time in these. They were already removed from regular service during my career but we did occasionally use them as a shoving platform for taking a train in a reverse movement for a longer distance than one would want to ride the side of a boxcar. You were spot on with your information about it.
Thats Pretty Darn Cool ! I've seen Some pretty Neat Things on some big Ranches around Texas. We Know a Family In Tx That Has a 200 ft long Building that every 20ft wall section tilts up and open .. and on one end there's a complete Tire shop and Mechanic shop and fully stocked Parts House for all Equipment and vehicles They own .. Hoses, Belts, Tires, Lights, alternators, radiators Etc... Its Crazy.. 64 thousand acres They live six miles off of the Highway And everything is converted to natural gas....Jason Represents Texas Well, Texas Is the best Country on Earth...!! I love being a Texan
Love the caboose. You know how to do things with class and style. It's a terrible waste when trains derail. Even if nothing is wrong with stuff, they won't let you buy it. A lot of trains loaded with new cars derailed in Nebraska. They wouldn't sell any.
My buddy has two, they left one almost all original with the hanging “bunks” built a small porch between the two and the other they put in a small kitchen and a “master” bunk… makes for great ranch weekends and get togethers. I’ve been jealous ever since I seen them!
I enjoyed all stories that you share with us but that falling in the posthole story still makes me laugh...wonderful caboose and am so happy to see that it is in loving hands...you truly have a magnificent ranch, and "barndominium". The sweet rewards of your blood, sweat, tears and hard work....but that is what makes us strong....please keep the videos coming....love to see other buildings on your place as well... Sweet setup..house and horses and arena! Cannot ask for more....
That caboose is so cool! I wouldn't mind living in such a dwelling, seeing as to how I'm a city girl, living in Brooklyn NY. The idea of a bnb is not a bad one at all! Thank you for the tour!
@@themendotaranch the caboose is great and I love the channel you should have a reality show on a&e I've been to Texas a few times and love it there I'm a firefighter paramedic and looking to retire if you ever need ranch hands or intern let me know I'll be glad to head out there.
I enjoyed the story and tour. I have a friend that volunteers on the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad. In Titusville they have a cabosse motel there . He stayed in one night.
Brings back memories. My father worked for the SantaFe railroad from prior to his enlistment in the Army during WWII until his death at age 55 due to left over shrapnel. Loved the classic calendars we would receive every year. Now I'm in Idaho and I'm reminded almost daily of the long trains those steam locomotives could pull: see multiple diesel-electric tandems pulling freight daily.
Simply beautiful. I came across your channel from watching a plethora of barndominium videos and I'm glad I did. You live a pretty cool and busy life. God bless and keep you and your precious family.
Once again you give such good comments on the applications of "HOW TO" . . I really enjoy your practical approach - - My husband is a contractor but now that we retired we farm hay and a few cows -- Always looking for a better way - - you have great ideas and also know the hard work of making it so. Thank you V
Wow!! Looks great! I have a friend here in Tulsa that is in the repair and development of railroad track business. I think his family has been in the business for 100 years or more! I’ll have to show him this!
Nice, I could actually use an 87' excess HIEGHT BOXCAR, so I could have my ho scale layout in there with 500' of track, plus more. You are one lucky guy to have this caboose. Thanks for sharing this with me.✌️👌🤠👍. NICE!!!
I like a great project, always fun to look at what we create after all the thought and work that goes into a project - its give me satisfaction every time.
i love your ideas and visions and the way you put them into reality, your caboose is cool, and i love the home and ranch. keep up the awesome videos i will be one who watches them all , take care
But...Butt?!! 😂😂😂. Great story. The connections you have with the land and people in your life and the added happenstance of events that touch your days are your family's personal history. Very precious things to hold close to your heart.
I’m so glad I happened upon this channel. You are a wealth of information and entertainment. From one Texan to another; keep the excellent videos coming!!!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I love the caboose, and the way you told the story of how you acquired it. It looks really neat inside. It would make a nice play house for the grand kids, well an expensive one. Lol
I could listen to him talk all day!
Me too!!
This guy needs his own reality show.
Phillip Lancaster I don’t watch reality shows but if they’re half as good as him, I’m missing something
Totally
This is a reality show
Um, he has one, you're watching it. I'm watching this particular video again...again...again
Why don't you have a TV show? I stumbled on your videos by accident. I'm a 60 year old woman, raised in the Midwest. Not an adventurous person at all. Now, I'm wishing I had a life like yours. You're so fun to watch and so damn intelligent, athletic and funny. God got stuck giving you so much talent, son!! Damn!!!
This would never work as a reality show, no one would believe it. Texas gotta love it.
REALITY SHOW!! Yes! Great, real and entertaining! Helicopters, guns, horses and $25 dollars! I live in Texas and we love watching his videos!!! 🙌🤠

You’re quite an interesting fella and I love your wild gizmos and gadgets.
“It’s a ghost” when the train goes by!! Nice caboose - it would be cool for an air b n b !!!
This caboose is out of this world. Man one about you is when you do something you done mess around.
Just plain cool. When I see ATSF, it's a family thing. My great grandfather came to America from Ireland, moved to Atchison, KS to work on the RR. The Bible says "don't envy" but I'm envious. Love the channel.
Thanks for watching!
Love the caboose. You have been very fortunate to have found such a lucrative way to earn money. Blessings
Thanks so much!
My favorite ranch to watch
Jason takes his time to explain everything.
Thanks Jason for all you share.
Love it! My grandson when he was about 4 was obsessed with the Thomas the tank trains. He had every piece of those trains

Different strokes for different folks. He's got style, can't deny that.
Just can’t help but like this dude. Hard working humble down to earth
Thanks for watching!
"At least you know you're worth $25 a piece" lol
My favorite bed and breakfast! I'd rent it out for winters! :) It's great! What a view!
It would make a great one with a little tweaking.
Love the Caboose my father worked for the railways all of his working life just love the trains
Love it, and the ceiling Gorgeous👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 🤗

The tracks run right through the middle of the ranch. So we get to see way too many trains
Absolutely awesome way to repurpose that old hunk of metal
Foundry Properties Thanks. It will lost a long time
Foundry Properties Thanks. It will lost a long time
What you did is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING…….
Thank you!
That's a cool addition to the property. I'm going to dig through your other videos. You have a very interesting business there.
Of course you have a caboose! Looks awesome man, thanks for sharing!
NWA CAD Services Thanks
I love the caboose! Really cool!❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Awesome place, I come by there frequently on the train.
John Craig Thanks. Give me a sign next time
We've talked about doing the same thing and turning it into a guest cabin. Great story telling.
Adventure2wheels That would be neat
Love the caboose! Could be a very secure "tiny house". Would be fun to have!!!🐎
It would!
That ceiling looks amazing...When the video first started I thought you were gonna say the tornado dropped it there.
Love the whole caboose !
That is best story! Love it!
that is just plain BADASS!!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Simply beautiful. I came across your channel from watching a plethora of barndominium videos and I'm glad I did. You live a pretty cool and busy life. God bless and keep you and your precious family.
