History
Built in 1923 by the Great Northern Railway in Minnesota along with forty six others. It was numbered 90775 and spent most of the time serving the Spokane area until 1967. It went to the Michelson Steel & Supply Company to be scrapped. Fortunately, it was saved and used for a playhouse for children. Later on, this caboose was used in Bothell at the Country Village shopping center as a music studio and store. The City of Tenino won this caboose through a raffle prize and is preserved at the Tenino Depot Museum today.
