I have put together a summary of several threads related to the numbering and disposition of Frisco 1100 series ex-Santa Fe cabooses. Does anyone have updates or corrections to this list? SLSF---ATSF---BN#----Location 1100----1601----11500---Gilbertown, AL 1101----1522----11501---Rogers, AR 1102----1573----11502---Milton, FL 1103----1746--------------Sold to Mississippian Railroad as MISS 103 - Scrapped 2009 - Amory, MS 1104----1632----11503---Denver, CO 1105----1535----11504---Red Oak, TX 1128----1657----11505---Lakespur, CO 1130----1509----11506---Wahoo, NE 1133----1592----11507 1136----1585 1139----1578----11508---Larkspur, CO 1141----1515----11509---St. Roberts, MO 1142----1710----11510 1145----1688----11511---Cuba, MO 1147----1715----11512---Jewett, TX 1152----1542----11513---Jefferson, TX 1153----1646----11514 1159----1596----11515---Weston, TX 1163----1586----11516 1164----1654----11517---Ferris, TX 1166----1588----11518---Red Oak, TX 1170----1566----11519---Florisssant, CO 1177----1531 1180----1706----11521---Weston, TX 1181----1696----11522 1182----1711 1191----1610----11524 1195----1644----11525 Mike Sypult MP 333 Central Division Edit 5/10/2024: Modified to restore column like format.

Nice, anybody have any recent photographs of any of these cabooses? I am tempted to track one down and see if I can arrange to bring it home and restore it. But I should probably just stay the course and focus on caboose SLSF 1288, hoping to move it soon when the weather gets a bit better.
I do not know the number of the car, but the Lay Z Day Canoes and Campground near St. Roberts MO has one of them. They show a side view of it on their website. How in the world it found its way down there is beyond me, it is not exactly on the beaten path. Brad Slone
Brad, Thank you for your post. You have located caboose SLSF 1141, formerly located in Buffalo, MO. Through a series of phone calls a couple of years ago we had traced the caboose from the former owners in Buffalo to a retired Air Force person near St. Roberts, MO. Unfortunately, at that time the trail went cold. Hope this helps. Thanks! Mark
