    I didn't know this forum was here until just now. We go camping on a caboose excursion train usually every year, and I posted this in the Northeast forum.

    Maybe you couldn't see the link from the above posting, but we just got back from doing this trip for the 3rd time. It's very relaxing, an excursion train where you ride in the caboose, then the train drops off the caboose for the night or nights. The caboose has been restored and has beds, a bathroom and little kitchen. It gets parked along side a river, where we camped for 2 nigths. Very unique.
