Caboose
Takes Another TripEarly
in 2009, the Tinley
Park-Park District determined that additional parking at McCarthy Park was
needed and contracted for the expansion of the current parking lot over the land
occupied by #17869.
On
Friday, April 3, the caboose was moved from its display at McCarthy Park
and was put in the storage yard of Bechstein Construction, a local heavy equipment
contractor.

On Monday,
August 24, #17869 was moved to Freedom Park, just south of Metra's
Tinley Park-80th Avenue train station and adjacent to the Tinley Park Public
Library, which is located at 7851 Timber Drive, just east of 80th Avenue,
about a quarter-mile north of 183rd Street.
