Many people saw the Valentine's Day story I did about a motel room that had a heart-shaped tub and mirrors above the bed. Well today, I'm in Crawford County at another interesting motel. At this motel, all the rooms are real railroad cabooses.

I'm at the Caboose Motel in Titusville. I don't know a more appropriate name for a motel. There's 21 actual cabooses, each turned into a motel room. Marie Rainey is the motel manager. She says accommodations like this are hard to find.

"There's one other that I know of in Pennsylvania and I believe there's one or two other ones in different states," she says.

I came here thinking that there wouldn't be much room in a caboose for a bed let alone anything else. I see now that the cabooses are big enough to fit not only one king-size bed, but two double beds. Each room also has a microwave, a refrigerator, heat and air conditioning, a television, and a bathroom with a shower. There's also an outdoor deck. Some of the cabooses were built with windows that now can be called motel room sky lights. Those windows are nice for guests who like gazing at the stars at night and being greeted by the sun in the morning. Guests can also read a written history of their caboose that's hanging on a wall. It's no surprise that Marie takes a lot of reservations from railroad buffs or their loved ones.

"The wife might call and say her husband is a train nut and wants to surprise him for his birthday," she says.

It's not just adults that are train buffs. What kid would not want to spend the night in one of these cabooses?

"Oh, the children live to come," says Marie. "They are so excited because they are going to sleep in a real train car. The children that come in, they re so much fun to watch. They are just jumping out of their skin because they can't wait to get in and see."

The Caboose Motel is located at the depot for the O.C. & T Railroad, a tourist train that takes riders through the historic region where Pennsylvania's oil boom began. The non-profit railroad has owned and operated the motel for 20 years. many tourists who ride the train stay at the motel. However, O.C. & T riders who just want to take a peek inside a caboose motel room are always welcome unless the motel is full. It's a new season. Roadside billboards are spreading the word about this rare experience. Really, who wouldn't want to sleep in a real caboose?

The O.C. & T Railroad depot is not the first location for the cabooses. They were first used as motel rooms at the site of a Titusville restaurant called Molly's Mill. The cabooses were acquired by the railroad when the restaurant closed and were moved a few blocks to their current location.
