Some things you can’t let go. It’s like a dare that challenges your intelligence and pride won’t let you be defeated. This caboose’s location was listed as Henwick Lane off of Heritage Highway near Highway 54 outside Jefferson City, Missouri. The problem was Henwick Lane is on one side of Cole County and Heritage Highway was on another. The roads do not intersect. After a lot of head scratching, I hit on the idea of Google Earth. Using satellite photos on maximum magnification, I scanned the terrain along Heritage Highway until I found a red roof that looked like it could be a caboose. It was on Renick Lane. Our minivan’s GPS took us directly to this Missouri Pacific Railway Caboose #13570 sitting in a location right out of American Pickers. Thanks literally to space age technology, I met the challenge of the typo.
