DescriptionDuluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway caboose - C-74.jpg
This caboose was built in 1924 by the Duluth, Minnesota & Northern Railroad and became a Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway caboose in 1938. It was the rear-end car of numerous trains that shipped iron ore from northern Minnesota's Mesabi Range until 1965. The iron ore was initially high-grade hematite in the Biwabik Iron-Formation (1.85 to 1.93 billion years old). After that was depleted, taconite in the same stratigraphic unit became the principal mining target.
This caboose is now part of the Mid-Continent Railway Museum collection in the town of North Freedom, Wisconsin.
