Backyard caboose a mini museum in Garden City yard
Joy Anstaett transforms two old railroad cabooses in the 300 block of East Thompson into a homegrown “mini museum.” She preserves Charlie Anstaett’s railroad lore with caboose red paint, old timetables, and metal chairs, keeping one car untouched as a tribute to her late husband’s dream.
