Readers have contacted us about the old red caboose that sits along the Monon Trail at Coil Street. It was most recently the offices for J.R. Walsh Realty, 5635 Cornell Avenue [B5 on map]. It has since been boarded up. We heard that the caboose was for sale, although the land under it is leased from Indy Parks and Recreation.

Do any readers remember how/when the caboose came to be at this location? The historic aerial maps indicate it was around 1970. If you have any info, please contact us at info@broadripplehistory.org
