On display in front of the Morton County Historical Museum in Elkhart, Kansas, along U.S. Hwy 56 is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Caboose #999481. One of 225 built, this Cupola style was manufactured in 1942 and rebuilt in 1970. These cars presented some operational issues because they had to be turned to face the proper direction. Tradition on many lines held that cabooses be painted red.
