Cabooses-
Silverton Northern #1005:
Built by the D&RG in Denver in 1880 as D&RG #0516. Bought by the SRR in 1895 and became SRR #17. Transferred to SN at an unknown date. Restored by the SJCHS and moved to their museum. As of 2020, the caboose is on display and it looks beautiful. From what I know, it’s the only piece of SN rolling stock that has been preserved and restored.
