The Red Caboose Motel, Railroad motel in Ronks, Pennsylvania, US
The Red Caboose Motel consists of 38 converted train cabooses arranged on genuine railroad tracks, offering accommodations near Strasburg Rail Road.
Donald M. Denlinger established the motel in 1970 after purchasing 19 N-5 cabooses from Penn Central Railroad and transporting them through challenging winter conditions.
Each caboose unit displays different North American railroad companies' paint schemes, preserving the visual heritage of American rail transportation history.
The on-site restaurant, housed in converted dining cars, serves traditional American meals and can accommodate 120 guests with views of passing steam trains.
The property earned recognition from Guinness World Records in 1984 for maintaining the largest collection of privately owned cabooses worldwide.
