TC 509 (4-6-0) (EX LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS RAILROAD) |
| Description: |
The Louisiana and Arkansas RR acquired this “Ten Wheeler” directly from the builder, Baldwin Locomotive Works, in 1913. They took delivery of eleven 4-6-0’s that were used in both passenger and freight service. It was designated Engine Number 403 and later renumbered 509. It served the L&A until 1950, when it was sold to the Louisiana and Midland RR, which used it until a head on collision with their own “Mikado,” Engine 551, took it out of service. It was repaired by a private citizen and sold to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in 1982, where the tender was re-lettered with the Louisiana & Arkansas designation. The 509 was acquired by the Friends of the Cookeville Depot Museum in 2002. It was reconfigured to match the large fleet of Baldwin 4-6-0’s operated by the Tennessee Central Railway Company. Its markings were changed accordingly and its numerical designation remained as 509, joining the ranks of its historical sisters- the TC500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, and 507- all “Ten Wheelers” which regularly pulled their cargos past the Cookeville Depot. |

TC 9828 |
| Description: |
This caboose was built around the same time as the Cookeville Depot building. It was acquired by the Friends of the Depot from the Leslie Bowman estate in Muddy Pond (near Monterey, TN). The caboose went through an extensive restoration when it was moved to the Depot grounds in 1993. It is typical of cabooses of the day in that it was not only the work center for the freight crew, but home as well. Meals were cooked on a coal stove which also provided heat in the winter. Tool lockers became crew bunks. The caboose, originally of all wood construction, later acquired a steel skin to help prolong its useful life. It is a Cupola Type caboose |

LN 1066 |
| Description: |
On December 30, 1985, the City of Cookeville received an L&N caboose from Seaboard Systems Railroad. This rail company ran freight through the area from 1968 into the early 70’s. The caboose we have from them is relatively small in size, since crews no longer lived aboard during freight runs. This caboose was built in the 1950’s and was retired from rail service in early 1980. The interior of the caboose, with its kerosene stove, is similar to how it looked when it was last used. It also houses our tool exhibit, “Working on the Railroad: The Right Tool for the Right Job.” This caboose is known as a Bay Window Type. |
