Moments in Time: A Collection of Historical Photos of West Gadsden Historical Society's caboose
Uncover West Gadsden Historical Society, Inc.'s Hidden Gems
CRR 1075
Originally owned by the Clinchfield Railroad, the caboose was transferred to the Family Lines System, ultimately part of the Seaboard System Railroad and used in north Florida. The use of a CRR 1075 was discontinued in the 1980's, and the caboose was then given to a retired railroad employee who worked at the River Junction Train Station in Chattahoochee, Florida, where the Seaboard System Railroad and the Apalachicola Northern Railroad intersected. CRR 1075 was placed on private property where it has remained until recently donated to West Gadsden Historical Society.
