Caboose No. SSW2 originally built by the International Car Company for the St. Louis-Southwestern Railroad (the Cotton Belt) which was a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad. It is known as an extended vision caboose due to the enlarged and overhanging cupola which gave the conductor a better view of the train ahead of him.
Caboose No. 13487 is located behind the steam locomotive and is a Missouri Pacific caboose built in 1950 donated to the museum in 1984 by the Union Pacific and Western Pacific Railroads.

There is a veranda on the west side of the museum where passengers used to wait for the train outside. It now houses a display of antique luggage and freight carts.
