A piece of history at Crosby Park
This caboose, situated on the east side of the park, serves as a historical piece of the town once known as Lick Skillet, Texas, established in 1823. Legend says, "East Texas oxen team drivers sipped the spring sweet waters and licked their plates clean (from the vast number of wild game)." In 1861, the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad & Lumber Company (SGBR&L) "brought the world to town." As the tracks were being laid, the town was renamed in honor of C. J. Crosby, a railroad construction engineer. SGBR&L was later acquired by Southern Pacific Railroad.
The caboose was classified as a SP (Southern Pacific) 1017-C40-1 and commissioned in 1963 or 1964. On July 19, 1979, after the series was retired, the caboose was donated to Precinct 4, and Commissioners Court approved payment to Magnolia Transportation Company to move the caboose to Crosby Park.
