Found 10/13/08 by the whole family
This is following the "Loose Caboose" theme of railroad cars that have been put to pasture, but are still enjoyed by all.
This caboose started work bringing up the rear for the Atlantic Coast Line. In 1967, Atlantic Coast Lines merged with Seaboard Airline to form "Seaboard Coast Line". The infamous caboose jumped track from ACL to SCL sometime soon after. The SCL railway was in business until 1980. Built in 1915, the final resting spot of this great car is the Umatilla Library, formerly used as a depot for the Atlantic Coast Line.
This was our very first find, we used the description, hint, and our geo-senses to find it since we didn't have a GPS yet. It was at this cache that my husband came up with our "team" name of AScarlettRose (which comes from all our middle names). He was actually the one who found it because I refused to put my hands where I can't see, I'm much better about this than I once was, but it still gives me the creeps. We also found it at night, in the dark because that seemed to be the only time it wasn't swarming with muggles. We signed the log and since that's all it was we din't take or leave anything.
