BCG&A Caboose

Boyne City Gaylord & Alpena #802

In 1999 former Boyne City Gaylord & Alpena caboose #802 was donated to our society. It was installed next to our clubhouse on track laid by club
members. Much work has been done to restore it to its former condition. With the completion of replacement platforms, new windows and doors,
replacement of most of the siding, a new paint job and a stairway and deck, work has progressed to the point that we are proud to open the caboose to visitors during our regular hours and during special events. Exhibits inside illustrate the history of railroading. In 2009 the caboose was painted with the original White Road paint scheme and number.

Once a year Santa Clause is kind enough to visit our club for our annual “Santa in the caboose” open house event.
