Photographed here, is a former Indianna Harbor Belt Railroad cupola caboose, that was donated to the city of Bridgeview Illinois, and is now the centerpiece of the Bridgeview Childrens Safety City display. This exhibit wich was built in the Mid 1990's features Small buildings -Streets -Traffic Signals -and of course, this full sized IHB Caboose. This caboose was built in the 1920's and retired sometime in the early 1980's. I moved to bridgeview in 1993. Back then, the caboose was on park property, but the town was raising money for the Childrens Safety City exhibit, seen here in Commisioners Park at 81st Street and South Beloit Avenue. The caboose was still in IHB / New York Central "Jade Green" with IHB Markings in the early 1990's. Childrens safety citties with retired cabooses are becoming populair. There is also one in Lemont Illinois with a former Illinois Central caboose, and in Romeoville Illinois with a former Virginian caboose.
