Caboose #117 finds a home in Heritage Park in Plover, Wis.

Setting the caboose back down was the most difficult part of the maneuver. The truck furthest from the camera moved as the car was swung around, making it difficult to align the wheels with the track and making a one-shot attempt at moving the car an impossibility.
