Hello all,
I am looking for any information regarding the privately owned Port Huron & Detroit caboose that is supposedly in Westville, Indiana.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Re: PH&D Caboose in Westville, IN
Not to be a jerk, but here's a couple prior threads concerning this caboose (they weren't as easy to find as I thought they'd be):

I remember having a discussion with someone several months back about this caboose and trying to pin down exactly where it was. I wasn't able to, but if you're on Facebook, a shot of it was posted on the PH&D Railroad Historical Society's page last year:

I hope these will be of some help.

It is on CR 400 E, just north of the B&O main, and of course south of ROute 6.

I had a guy on Ebay buy a brass fire extinguisher to put in this very caboose.
