The Red Caboose Motel (originally named the Red Caboose Lodge) is a 48-room train motel in the Amish country near Ronks, Pennsylvania, in Lancaster County,[2] where guests stay in actual railroad cabooses.[3] The motel consists of over three dozen cabooses and some other railroad cars, such as dining cars that serve as a restaurant. It was developed and opened in 1970 by Donald M. Denlinger, who started with 19 surplus cabooses bought from the Penn Central Railroad at an auction.[4][5] The property has been expanded and renovated since opening. In addition to providing lodging, the motel has hosted many railroad-themed events and other concerts and dances in its barn. It is in an area with other railroad attractions including the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania and the National Toy Train Museum. The ticket counter of the Strasburg Rail Road, an almost two-hundred-year-old heritage railway,[6] is a quarter mile away, and its tracks run past the motel.[7] It has been described as a landmark and roadside attraction.[8][9][10] It was listed in Guinness World Records for having the largest collection of privately owned cabooses in the world in 1984.[11][12]
