For a number of years, a Western Pacific GP9 and caboose have been on display in the Elko Railroad Park. Located at 7th and Railroad Streets, the right of way once hosted the Southern Pacific mainline through the heart of Elko, Nevada, population 18,500.
Have you ever watched cabooses, enjoyed their uniqueness, wondered about the men inside, or the jobs they do? Once an everyday sight on the rails, they have decreased in numbers, yet they are a very important part of railroad history.
