Could You Live in a Train?

My husband grew up in passenger coach that was modified for living. His dad worked for Southern Pacific who provided the cars for employees and familes. When the work moved, Southern Pacific moved the cars to the new locations.

The box car children book is the bomb

I have known 2 different men who have lived in converted railroad cars. One was a crew member of the bridges and buildings crew for the Union Pacific and he lived in a full sized rail car with a kitchen, bathroom and multiple bedrooms. The other lived in a converted caboose. He was an electrical contractor and would post photos of himself on his attached deck, eating dinner while herds of elk wandered through his yard. Both of them enjoyed their living arrangements. The caboose was far smaller but it was decorated inside much nicer. I would say that I would prefer the caboose, as I live in an efficient small apartment that has been built inside my huge barn/shop.

VERY NICE REMINDS ME OF A BOOK I USES TO READ WHEN I WAS A CHILD CALL "THE BOX CAR CHILDREN🤗❤❤❤

When I was a child, we lived in an outfit car for a year when my dad was a Signal Foreman. My father later was a General Chairman in the union. He was very good friends with George Jones. George and his wife came to my dad’s funeral a few years ago and told us about this place. He must have been sad to sell it, but it looks like it’s in great hands!

Any concept that breaks up the monotony will always be a breath of fresh air. As you can tell that said person/s is living and expressing themselves from self.......no one else. The whole point of having an imagination (of your own) is to make the best of what you like and have to make a life for ***you ......and yours. I'm sure that if most weren't so bent on being like and living like they see others do, anything (especially if safe and comfortable) would be an interest to explore.

Wow so beautiful train house both couple really smart may God Bless Both Of You Guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is bringing back so many memories! In the mid 70s, I lived in Durham, North Carolina, and worked in a steakhouse that was three cars of a train in the parking lot of the shopping center. It was a busy place, despite its small size. The food was really good, but I think the fact that it was in a train was the biggest draw. It's where I opened my first bottle of champagne, without any instruction at all, and saw the cork ricochet three or four times from side to side without hitting a soul. That night, there was entertainment to go with dinner. 😊

My dad ought a caboose about fifty years and turned it into our summer home. I loved it. Wish I we still had it now.

'Could You Live in a Train Carriage'? Yes, my parents did so for four years in a train carriage less than half that size. With two small children and without luxury.

This house is amazing,I couldn't believe what I was seeing, you guys made the train into a fantastic home congrats on your house

Big thumbs up and absolutely beautiful. There are thousands of descriptive words but I think she is stuck on the word 'FUN'.

My parent's first home was a caboose

Imagine joining that “village”together an go on a journey, brings a whole new idea to the orient express

That looks like a super fun stop off for a Family traveling in the mountains. Also for adults who may be in love with trains and want to experience that on the trip. Beautiful scenery, maybe some fly fishing in that river? Whatever it is it looks like a good place for a stopover

Could I live on that? OH HELL YES!!

I love the yellow caboose that was in the fire. I especially like the kitchen, just all you need really. It is 😍 beautiful.

I live in this in a heart beat. How awesome. Note from canada.

I could live in one...very cool idea

The Best One Is The One with The Kids Bunks with fence trimming The Kitchen Is Very Nice And The Bedroom with the high ceiling THIS ONE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF DOUBLE THUMBS UP

My mother lived in a converted Pullman railroad car as a kid

I love the Zephyr! Yes, I could live in that!!!!

I’ve always have loved the caboose on the old Trains! I miss seeing them on today’s trains. I love your place!

I had family in the Railway business I love all those rail cars they are beautiful.

I lived on a train. The Ringing Brothers train for years. I love it it was amazing knowing I was a small prosentage of people in the world that lived on a train. The story's omg

This is the most fantastic thing I’ve ever seen. Never knew it existed. I am a train freak and this just exceeded any expectations I could have. Thank you so very much for saving these beautiful pieces of history. Your conversations are excellent. You have preserved the original history while adding todays comforts. I have to find a way to come out there and stay and try out more then one of the cars. Bless you all and wishing you all the best to keep it alive and have more train people find you.🙏🤩😱♥️

My oh my. I would love to stay there. My father worked for Southern Pacific as a conductor brakeman. I spent some time in those railway cabooses, and traveling to visit. My uncle was a railroad employee and my brothet in law. Love this!

Absolutely love this ♥️♥️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

That yellow boxcar was beautiful on the inside!

This is amazing! When my baby birdies fly out of my nest I’d love to live in one of those. 🚂 ❤

Absolutely beautiful train homes that's for sharing god bless stay safe 🙏 😊 ❤️

What a cool idea!! Love the wood details

That was incredible. Not my absolute favorite place to live... but then again it's not all that bad. Really great work you two (three).

These are cool...the yellow one is my favorite 💛, because of the Tub 🛀

Yes, I most definitely could live on a passenger train. It's my favorite way to travel. This train is a Gem. 😲😉❤

This is sooo Kool and historic.. 👍🥰

We had a restaurant in bogalusa that was inside of a train car, connected to a old steam engine. That restaurant had quite a few tables and a kitchen. And they made some really good food too. They made 1lb burgers and 1 lb chilli burgers that were lunch and dinner in one. You could easily live in a train car. There is plenty of room.

When I took two of my grandkids with me to New York we went to Lancaster Pennsylvania and I rented a caboose motel for us to stay in and it was so neat. It had two queen beds and a bunk bed. It also had a kitchen table , fridge and microwave. Bathroom with shower, it was neat.

I was blessed to live in Panguitch, Utah. Going to Richfield, I will always pass and see the trains. So, many memories and lots of pictures. So happy for you guys.

Nice! I would love to spend the night in one!

There are quite a few homes in the UK 🇬🇧 that are made out of railway carriages. Many were converted over 100+ years ago.

Cool idea, guys! Feel your excitement 🤘

Their is a Set up like this in Pa. Very nice!

I lived on a narrow boat for 2 half years I luv'd it. I'd have no trouble living there. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍 nice one.

Really love this idea but I’m looking for something on wheels. But I could drive my wheeled tiny home and come visit!

What a good idea of recycling I really love this idea good job and thank you so much for sharing Happy Holidays Continue To Stay Safe Healthy Strong and Happy Many Blessings and Much Love-n-Peace Y'all 💜☮️💯😇🙏🏾❣️

I just read all the messages from one person regarding the book, "The Boxcar Children" and I have to tell you that book has been a favorite of mine my whole life. I too wanted to live in a boxcar, but those children were orphans when they found the boxcar. I am 77 years old and grew up in coal country and there were trains that ran right behind our home and I loved it. I went to first grade in a little one-roomed schoolhouse in our little town and that is when I first learned of the book. Our teacher would read it to us, chapter by chapter each day. After my sister and brother were all grown with families of their own, I ordered the original book to give to them at Christmas to read to their children. Of course, I still have my own.

I like this a lot more than a mobile home or container house

a beautiful place to stay

That is not a mini stove in England it’s. Regular stove……The whole place is beautiful …. Love it.

absolutely--YES--especially if it was hooked on and part of long distance train journeys

I would love to bring my kids and stay in the Burlington Northern caboose. My grandfather worked for B.N. As a switchman and I would live to see a lillte pice of this daily life.

Super cool! Both my grandpas and my mother worked for Southern Pacific railroad. 😊

I absolutely love it ❤️ great concept Not your " normal" air b&b that's what's so cool ...great getaway for young kids ... small river/ creek ... I did miss something ...I'll start over again ...where is this (state) ? Thanks again ... I'm going to look into this ... thanks 🙏

All I can say is WOW.

These are beautiful! I could easily live in that large car.Such a peaceful place to live,

I always wanted to live in an old Pullman like Maude did. Cool place! This is amazing!

My favorite cousin was named George Jones!! 🥹🥹🥹 RIP to him 🙏🏾

Wonderful Beautiful Homes!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh…this is so cool, sweet, cute, charming, & special!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of true American History & Art!! Oh, I’m in love!! Where might this be, please?

I love that idea so beautiful love that beautiful.scenery

I stayed in half a boxcar hotel in Indiana w my 2 dogs (45 and 100 pounds)We liked the freight line right there and LOVED the original station and minisplit air ventilation thing. Not cheap, but very effective and quiet. Would have liked a full tub, that's it.

Cool idea. Canal longboat on land stays

V.Beautiful train house loved it.

Lived in a side by side pair of UK Great Eastern six wheelers set up as a small two bedroom bungalow. Coaches dated from about 1900 and had their original numbers.

As a train enthusiastic This is my dream house

That's awesome in India it can be useful to make new home in village or less urban areas since we are upgrading our trains, the old coachs can easily reused.😇

They have done a magnificent job great place to escape!!

Wow! That is so cool! You could live in those on a regular basis which is really awesome. Whoever thought of that was a genius

Really sweet idea! Unique, historical, and the surrounding scenery looks so peaceful. 😍 Wondering what the night sky looks like since it seems so remote. Kudos for the creativity!

As a UK train fan, I've always wanted to ride a railroad. This looks like a lovely place for stay - though I'd want to tour all of them!

It's not a train. It's a single car. The largest passenger car ever built? Based on what - it's a typical coach of the streamliner era. The fluted side panels mark this as a car built by Budd. Pullman-Standard cars tended to be smooth sided. Why is it called the California Zephyr, just out of curiosity - the car is not a former CB&Q car. The missing "connector" is a "coupler". The electrical panel is a breaker box - it does not have fuses. It's a shame the passenger car is sitting on salvaged caboose trucks instead of its original passenger ones. Excellent interior renovation though. This train car at 5:50 is a caboose, as are most all the cars on the property. How long has it been on the property? The only railyard fire that comes to mind is the Roseville disaster of 1973 when a carload of ordnance bound for Vietnam caught fire and exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed a large portion of the yard and damaged nearby homes. Though painted in UP colors, UP didn't operate bay window cars like that. I suspect it's a former Southern Pacific car. To manually set the brakes, you turn the brakewheel clockwise until it's as tight as you can get it. The latching pawl in the housing behind it will keep it from releasing. To release the brakes, lift up on the release lever. This disengages the latching pawl and the brakewheel can then be freely spun counterclockwise until it stops, releasing the tension on the brake mechanism. The term "bay window" is correct for the "pop-outs" on the sides - they are called bay window cabooses. Conventional cabooses have a cupola extending above the roof. Number 7 is a 50 foot boxcar. Can't tell if it's possibly an American Car & Foundry product or Pullman-Standard - would have to see the ends. The caboose used for an office is former Burlington Northern extended vision caboose #12575. They are similar to conventional cabooses except the cupola is wider than the sides of the car to afford greater visibility.

I see lots of old diners made out of trains. Perfect fit.

Rent is getting expensive buying houses is getting expensive and is better buying or foreclosure house and slowly but slowly you fix it up and you can call it your own because things are so expensive today you people did a good job doing this and I would do the same thing I would love to live in a place like this rather than living a three-story house awesome job

Not much different from container homes. I like it!

We saw two 1890's cars but the guy won't sell them for us to restore and make into a tiny home! This is great!

Anyone else reminded of the Getalong Gang? 😄

The Trolley Car Family was a great favorite book as a kid

I want to live there!🥰❤💙❤

This is really cool.

Living in a train car would be easy. Can you imagine how much room you would have. It would be a piece of cake.

Wow! This is so amazing. What a unique idea. You’re doing a great job and all who get to stay there are so fortunate. Hope we see another video when you’re finished.

Happy you haven't been flooded out!!

Wow, I love them 😍 all.

I’d love to visit.

These trains would be great to live in full time,hope you guys have a Merry Christmas 🎄⛄💗

Bruh this like literally my dream house

my husband and I stayed two nights in the Feather Bed Inn in Nice (niece) in Lake County CA. which were train caboose cars. Each had a theme. We stayed in Wine Country and Western Living. The wine country caboose had a hot tub big enough for two. And the western living had the toilet tank up high with he chain you pulled to flush and the shower head was like a rain shower. Cool beans.

This should be on airbnb.

I love this train!

Kaboose village sounds like a club in miami

It's cute. Maybe for a weekend getaway or something like that. I really hate the decor though. Its s bit too rustic for my liking 🤷🏿‍♀️

The yellow Caboose, you could use a piano hinge and have a tiny fold down extended countertop, right by that sink, in case someone wanted to cook something

That would be alot of fun wow.❤️🙏

That is so cool I live in a school bus

Beautiful ❤️ #BLESSINGS 😍

I remember back in the early 90’s on a trip from SoCal to Oregon I saw a motel made up of several old cabooses. I thought dang that’s really cool! I never saw the inside of them but having seen yours, they are way cool! I could definitely live in something like that, what more would anyone need? Pretty awesome job you’ve done! 👍

Neat shelter!

Wow now Trains for Tiny Homes, I love it!
