Built in January 1946 by Great Northern Railway in St. Cloud, Minn., this steel-frame, wooden-sided caboose was put into service by the Spokane, Portland and Seattle railroad.
Originally painted red, caboose No. 853 operated on the Portland-Wishram-Spokane main line, as well as on branch lines from Astoria to Sweet Home.
Burlington-Northern purchased it in about 1970, renumbered it No. 11269 and painted it green.
It was sold to George Ackerman in Hood River in the late '70s, and purchased by the OCR in 2009.
Total weight (chassis and wheels) is 48,000 lbs.
