This is the old caboose recently installed outside Carbondale City Hall.
Usually, these things obnoxiously stick out like a boil on a baby's bottom.
Here, it fits.
Carbondale has an interesting railroading history. The caboose is a great addition to the downtown.
The locals tell me the tree you see here will be trimmed back a bit, and the caboose will eventually be used as a tourist promotion office, a place where people can stop by to learn about area attractions.
History is preserved and I like it.
