Captive Caboose - Western Pacific 657 |
WP 657 is a wood bay window car that was originally built in 1943 by the WP Jeffrey Shop forces in Sacramento. It was converted from a 1916 era Pullman Standard outside braced wood boxcar. WP 657 was sold and put on display at the Ponderosa Ranch tourist attraction in Incline Village, NV. In September 2004 the Ponderosa Ranch's gates were closed for good after the land was sold to Incline Village developer David Duffield. The car still sits on the property and appears to be in very good condition. But it's future is unknown. Images were taken May 28, 2007. |
