Captive Caboose - Burlington Northern 10711

I stumbled across BN 10711 while driving through Colorado in 2006. It was built for the BN in 1972 by International Car Company as part of a 50 car order and I found it sitting derelict on an industrial spur near Brush Cut on the BNSF main across Colorado. It looked like it hadn't moved in years and it was attached to a condemned ATSF boxcar and two condemned BN boxcars. The caboose looks remarkably complete and in decent shape but I have no idea who owns it or its current status. Images taken June 8, 2006
