Merry Christmas, y'all This Norfolk and Western Caboose ( 518654 ) is behind the Depot Downtown .. and from what I've found out - one Lady refurbished the interior .. by herself.. That is a labor of Love © All Rights Reserved This Norfolk & Western caboose was given to the City of Burlington by Norfolk Southern Railway in 1993. It is symbolic of the railroad roots of the North Carolina Railroad town of Company Shops (1866) which became Burlington in 1893. The caboose was painstakingly restored in 2006-2007 and is now a museum depicting life aboard a train as it was when a caboose rolled behind every freight. - from the Historical Marker Project --EXPLORE--
