This is quite possibly the world’s most luxurious caboose. Named for James Jerome Hill, the Empire Builder of the Great Northern Railway, Luxury Caboose “J.J.” offers an unsurpassed cozy & inviting Western retreat.
Like Great Northern 441, J.J. creatively blends vintage woods, leather & stone to reflect Montana’s rich flora, fauna & landscape. Walls of turquoise aspen & rustic barn wood, accented with recycled chocolate leather, warmly envelope the soothing leather furnishings.
The kitchen boasts a full refrigerator, gas range, microwave & copper sink. Lotus granite countertops,glazed hickory cabinetry, & the blue pine eating bar compliment the rich wood interior.

The barn wood throughout J.J. displays 12 different pieces of antique barbed wire from the late 1800s. |

The bedroom is walled in spalted birch & barn wood, accented with recycled leather. The queen size bed has a denim duvet adorned with a Glacier Park Pendleton & Hudson Bay pillow shams, echoing the theme of Great Northern’s sleeping cars.

upper bunk, complete with a view of
the BNSF mainline. |
