I have a Caboose i want to move and am try to figure out what it weighs with out its truck. It is all steel except its floor witch is wood.. It has a cupola that makes it taller and sticks out 8 1/2" on both sides. It has brass tags that say Morrison International. I saw a caboose that was being moved alot it had axles and a Pintle hitch hooked in the couplers. Its around 35 ' long.

I’m going to assume you received no information when you purchased it.

I’d reach out to
Mid America Car Company. http://midamericacarinc.com/

Gateway Rail Services. http://www.gatewayrailservices.com/

Or Ozark Mountain Railcar. https://ozarkmountainrailcar.com/. In fact, Ozark has an extended vision caboose. It’s weight, with trucks, is 40,000 pounds.
