MAS Caboose
For fifty-three years, the Museum of Arts and Sciences has been home to the SAL Class 5CC Caboose #5236. SAL stands for the Seaboard Air Line Railway, a major railroad system that operated throughout the southeast from 1900 up until 1967. The SAL Caboose #5236 was built in 1923 and accumulated an estimated 1.9 million miles in its forty-one year lifetime. The caboose was decommissioned in 1964 and subsequently donated to the museum. In the years since, the caboose has been cared for and maintained by volunteers and museum staff.
