| While at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, the car served as an office for the supervisor of renovation work at the roundhouse. Subsequently the car was moved to the east side of the roundhouse to make room for major renovation work on the west side of the building. In 2000 the Museum undertook major reconstruction of No. 1264 to replace timbers and siding which had decayed. During the process of rebuilding, workers discovered the caboose’s correct number, 1264, stamped into some of its window frames. Such a stamping of a car number was a common practice at railroad shops so that parts from different cars would not get mixed up. |
