Caboose Number 170 Oceano and Northern Railway by Floyd Snyder
Based on a copyright date found on the brass lantern vent in the ceiling of the caboose (and some other construction features), the Caboose has been dated at or around 1907.
As near as we can determine, the caboose was first placed into service on the San Pedro, Los Angeles, & Salt Lake Railway in 1907 as #3317.
In 1926, the caboose was purchased by the Santa Maria Valley Railroad where it was renumbered as #170 and placed into service.
In 1963, John Loomis purchased the caboose and placed it on the Tar Springs Ranch where it became part of Bodfish & Tar Springs Railroad.
In 2004, John Loomis donated the caboose to the Oceano Depot Association. It was then moved to Oceano where it became part of the "rolling stock" of the Ocean and Northern Railway. The O&N Railroad was established as a subsidiary of Oceano Depot Association by Harold Guiton in 1998
