Santa Fe Caboose up for sale at a local Estate Sale.
(no, I don't have a backyard big enough).
If you ever want to open up one of those kitchy Route 66 souvenir shops... Looks like this is the place to go, lol.
Hmm, there are two morse code keys in there. Among other stuff. I imagine the plae is chock full of random stuff.
Ship's wheel? Cowboy hat? Entire gas station replica buliding with gas pumps? Shelled Walnuts sign?

@ai6yr Hah! This is the sort of thing where you can say stuff like "I bet those grenades are probably inert!" You know, like really probably, but I'm not putting any money on it
Bekah@ai6yr @W6KME that one looks in better shape, but you can see how much effort/work it takes to restore a really old one here: https://thelouisvillecaboose.com/archived-project-home-page/
The family kind of (randomly, 5 years ago?) decided to just make a two-car track and start restoring these, then ran out of money or interest so they put it all up for sale.
The city somehow decided they wanted the two rail cars and mock track and are buying that corner for $400k.

DouglasColorado mentioned!!
Louisville just needs to get an engine to put in front of those cars and they'll have something cool.
@douglasvb @bolderbekah @W6KME Somewhere just up from Century Lake, based on the hills, and also the people cavorting through the trees in that clip is definitely down in the flats.
@ai6yr
I have no idea how you do that from that clip, but looks correct.
Clip seems to be from Paris Hilton in The Simple Life, a season 5 seems to be at “Camp Shawnee” specifically S5E8. Which was made up? https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/the-simple-life-was-camp-shawnee-totally-fake-reports-claim-none-real.html/
I did not need to know any of this. 😆😆
