As the article notes, Mark's parents learned from a family friend (who was a Baltimore and Ohio railroad conductor) that the caboose was being retired. With his help, the Hogrefes were able to obtain the caboose.
So where is the caboose these days?
Today, old C-398 is located in the Shoppes of Old Avon Village (along with Jax Store for Men & Women, the subject of yesterday's post) next to the Railway Barbershop.
