Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Caboose No. 04990
Jefferson County
The caboose is associated with the Denver & Rio Grande and Denver & Rio Grande Western railroads.
Built from a boxcar in 1919, it serves as a visual reminder of the importance of narrow gauge railroading to Colorado’s development. The train was moved to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden in 2012 but the city plans to move it back to Boulder once a suitable location is found.
