Caboose collection in Columbia County - On The Pennsylvania Road | wnep.com

With the caboose being a preserved historical restoration, we apologize the caboose is not handicap accessible.
It would be extraordinarily difficult to retrofit an 60 - 80 year old heavy steel caboose to be handicap accessible -- the doors are small, the platform is small, it's crowded inside, there is a ladder up to the cupola and access from the ground outside is actually by climbing a ladder up to the platform -- that is how they were built years ago, in order to fit on the rails.
Caboose Lodge Online Reservation Payment

Remember these are REAL RAILROAD CABOOSES, not a Taj Mahal.
They are nine foot wide & thirty five feet long.
We kept everything almost original in the cabooses, so it not like a motel room
You will be staying in a REAL CABOOSE!
Of course we added some of the comforts of home.
Although the caboose cabins are themed to look original, they are air conditioned, fully outfitted.
In the past four years we had a 100% positive rating with children and 99.9% with adults.
Do yourself a favor, if you think the other person is not a railroad nut?
Leave the other negative .01% at home or a local motel and have a good time!
Kids love trains, and most adults love trains. Kids love the excitement of being in a caboose.
An experience they'll be talking about for weeks or longer.
Once people visit here, they look around and realize the broad diversity that this area has to offer. Old Fashioned Family Fun, Knoebels Amusement Resort, PIONEER TUNNEL COAL MINE & STEAM TRAIN, ROHRBACH'S FARM MARKET, BAKERY & GIFT SHOP, ROLLING HILLS RED DEER FARM, Broken Wheel Bison Ranch, just to name a few.
It is often the wide variety of attractions, shopping, our historical heritage, excellent food, and fun activities for all ages that causes people to stay longer once they are here, and to return often. Many people return here year after year because of all that this area has to offer amid such a peaceful country setting.
If you are planning ahead - reserve now for Spring, Summer and Fall. The earlier you make your reservations, the better the likelihood of obtaining your desired dates. Weekdays are often less busy than weekends
