The Burlington caboose located in front of the Greybull Museum is now open.
The caboose was donated to the town of Greybull by Burlington Northern Railroad in 1973 and moved to its present location in 1974. It was initially used to house the Greybull Area Chamber of Commerce.
When the Greybull Museum reopened in 2023, the caboose was in such a bad state that it stayed closed due to safety concerns. A project to “reopen” the caboose was begun in the summer of 2023, a small grant from the Town of Greybull allowed the exterior to be painted to original color. Realizing that there would not be enough money from that grant to complete the project, the Greybull Wyoming Museum Association turned to the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund. Receiving a grant from the trust fund in January, work began on the interior of the caboose and replacement of the roof.
