    I don't know when you took that shot but the Ponderosa is officially closed down for good. The property was sold to a developer. The caboose is still there although covered up with tarps. It's future is unknown but it seems to be in pretty remarkable shape for a car originally built in 1916.

    I have a list of all known WP, SN, TS, and CCT cabooses in existence, including many photos, on the site for my forthcoming Western pacific Caboose Cars book. Have a look here if you're interested...
