Updated North Bend ATSF caboose 999319 with address and location.
Added New listing for SP 1179 in North Bend
Some additional history of SP 1179 Owned for a time by the The Oregon Coast chapter of the National Railway Historical Society which had plans for an excursion train on the coast. From the History page for Locomotive 104, "They also acquired a caboose (the former Southern Pacific No. 1179) and restored it. The group's excursion plans fell through, however, when an agreement between Southern Pacific and the Historical Society could not be reached as to ownership of the locomotive and operating rights on the track. The caboose was sold to The Caboose Lady coffee shop in Coquille. It changed hands again in 2007, with a potential move in the works."
