Burlington 14107 – Caboose
This caboose was built in 1878 by Wells and French as the Burlington & Missouri River RR #10. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RR (CB&Q) renumbered it as #14107 when they acquired the Burlington & Missouri River RR, and the Burlington Northern RR renumbered it as #11021 when they acquired the CB&Q.
The caboose was retired in 1973 and sold to George Shirk, a former mayor of Oklahoma City. George Shirk donated it in 1981 to the Central Oklahoma Railfan Club, a predecessor organization to ORM. The caboose was restored in 2005. It is believed to be the oldest CB&Q way car in existence.
