How Do You Get a Caboose Out of a Backyard in Olivette?

So how do you get a multi ton Wabash Railroad caboose out of a backyard on Dielman Road in Olivette?

Very carefully, of course. Van Lischer and Dorothy Beaman have donated this 1952 train car after housing it for nearly 20 year.

It has taken hours of painstaking work to lift the train onto flatbed trucks and heading for Olive Street; I-270 and onto Dougherty Ferry Road and into the Transport Museum.

The trucks are scheduled to move the caboose first thing this morning once rush-hour traffic clears.

Here's a look at all of this work on a cold and muddy Monday in March.
