The caboose was built by Carl "Gus" Haggmark. It was located at Henry Sorensen's place in McKinleyville, CA., hence the Humboldt & Horthern, which was what Henery called his "railroad". I remember seeing it in the '70s-'90s. There may be some pictures or film out there of it being used during the Pacific Coast div of the NMRA mini convention of '79 (i think the year is correct). I had often wondered what had become of it after Gus's passing.
