Preserved Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad caboose on display. Tinley Park Illinois USA. June 2008.

Historic Rock Island remnant. Tinley Park Illinois. June 2008.

I spotted this preserved steam era steel cupola railroad caboose, along the east side of 80th Avenue in south suburban Tinley Park Illinois. Although the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad had quit operating due to bankruptcy in March of 1980, this railroad's mainline went through Tinley Park Illinois nonetheless. This historic Rock Island relic, is now preserved on display in a local city park.
