Hiker Finds Mysterious Abandoned Waterfront Caboose House Hidden in the Woods!

What a find! In 1986 a husband and wife purchased the 100 acre farm for $90,000. They lived in the farmhouse and continued to farm for a number of years. They decided to place an old caboose and rail car at the very back of the property to use as a cabin. Later they let a man live there off grid and he built a 2 bedroom addition on the back of the caboose. Once the owners passed away the man moved out and the property was sold in 2003. The farmhouse was demolished but the off grid caboose house sits abandoned and nature is slowly taking over. Thanks again to Rob for letting me know about this amazing location.

About me:
I have been exploring abandoned places since I was a child and now I would like to film the explores and share the videos with you.
My father took me to my first abandoned house when I was 7 years old. I remember going into the house and a old farmer came in and told us "we better watch out as the floors are all rotten and unsafe". Ever since that day I was hooked on exploring abandoned places.
If you have a location you would like to share with me or want me to explore for you please send me an email at [e-mail] and I will give you full credit for the share in the description and during the video if you choose.

My brother was an unconventional person and was drawn towards living like this. He would have loved seeing this explore. RIP, Melonhead. ❤

[@bsage5514]

Hazard pay, LOL Thanks Brent!

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Oh wow bsage! Thank you very much! Very kind of you. Hazardous place for sure 🤣

[@ELMS]

My father-in-law worked his entire career on the railroad. The first car you explored (beginning at 3:12) looks like a bunkhouse. The men would sleep in them when they were out in the middle of nowhere fixing the tracks. Love the channel, and the way you’re always respectful of the sites you visit.

[@patriciamariemitchel]

My grampa worked as an engineer for the Soo Lines.

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Yes it was a bunkhouse! 👌🏻

[@user-gp5jy3tc8y]

This episode reminded me of a book I read when I was 9 or 10 called The Boxcar Children. I loved this book so thank you for reminding me of it.

[@mizg6313]

Me too😊

[@mamacindyrogofsky495]

Boxcar children is still around and loads of books still being written. 😊

[@user-sf6cg1iy1o]

Thanks for letting us explore with you.

You’re welcome!

[@JennyT372]

That would have made a sweet holiday home if it had been maintained. Someone worked really hard on that back in the day, and put a lot of thought into it.

[@kc-qu2vh]

They had their own piece of paradise.

[@donnagagne3813]

Great explore Brent. Too bad the place is covered in trash. The place does't look like it was well taken care of. Hey; soap is cheap. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@johnrebel9539]

A friend of mine bought a caboose. They are very heavy & require a crane to lift on & off a low boy flatbed. They weigh around 22 tons. He was a truck driver & knew a local heavy crane company so it kept the cost of moving down. I would love to ask him more details but unfortunately he died from covid. RIP Red Beard

[@8_x_9.]

Thank you for sharing your story with us. RIP to your friend.🧡

[@johnrebel9539]

@@8_x_9. He was the most rootiness tootiness truck drivin, Harley ridin, stripper seducing,crank snortin,booze hound hard workin,hard partying dude I have ever met. I just cannot believe that the Kieth Richard's of all gear jammers was takin out by fuckin Covid. I couldn't even go to his funeral because I was in jail. I 44yrs old but will never get used to friends & loved ones just being "No longer" or simply "Gone" It's never the assholes right?

[@irenea2006]

That would have been a great spot to camp out. Looks like they had all the necessities covered.

[@user-lp1rg1od7y]

Oh God! All the trash laying around in such a beautiful location breaks my heart!!!

[@RB-sy1oz]

Thank you Brent another great explore. Love how it’s so close to the river. The inside looks so much bigger than on the outside. Love how they made it into a home. It’s neat seeing all the mildew and moss over everything. Be careful we don’t want you hurt❤️

[@TheSWalks]

That extended cab Nissan looks exactly like the one my Aunt & Uncle drove for most of the 80's. During the summers, when my uncle changed shifts in the oilfield industry, I spent hours sitting on one of those uncomfortable jump seats catching a ride to visit my grandparents. The jump seats were so low I couldn't see out the windows, and I'd bring a few books to read, but my uncle chatted to me most of the trip - probably to stay awake - so I rarely got any reading done! Thanks for sharing this explore.

[@janetmondoux9998]

This place was awesome. Thanks for sharing with us

[@bsage5514]

Really nice spot back in the woods along the river. Set up for a nice retreat. The railcar and caboose must have been an engineering feat to get in there. Bonus school bus LOL! Glad you didn't get to banged up on this one. Awesome explore for sure!! Thank you Brent for all the leg work!❣

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Glad you enjoyed it, I really loved it there and was so much fun exploring this place. Love these ones 👌🏻

[@nate8088]

I like that the medicine cabinet is the old enclosure from a Toshiba Tosvert-130 E1 Transistor Inverter

[@sharong8511]

Thanks for saying what it was before it became a medicine cabinet. So it would have opened from the right? Of course! It’s a right handed world. Us lefties make up approximately one in nine people. Even baby strollers come with the bottle/beverage holders on the right side. Oh well, we soon learn to adapt.

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

I’ve seen one before but can’t think of where I seen it. Great idea using it as a medicine cabinet 👌🏻

[@billgoeckel6344]

Makes you wonder who lived out there and what happened to everyone. Thanks for sharing. Great video

*Always sad and melancholy, this was somebody's home. Somebody lived here, slept here, had a life and dreams here and now they're gone and it's victimized by hooligans and vandals.* 😕😞

I thought the same thing. Sad vibes, like someone lived here and was trying hard to get by.

[@sassysue6472]

Very cool. And so ingenious. I like the independence and ingenuity. Self sufficient and living simply. Great find!

Good one Brent. Lots of interesting junk. Safety first when wandering and handling. See ya on the next one

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Thanks Janice!

[@SusanMillard]

What a wonderful find Brent...love how they used the railcar and the caboose to live in. So totally out of place and yet so intuitive to use as a living structure. Thanks for taking us along with you to see this stuff. 😁

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Whoever lived there had a nice place too stay indeed.

[@maryherbert9082]

Reminds me of the children's book series. The Boxcar Children. Interesting to explore.

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi Brent What a cool and different exploration. Imagine people living in a caboose. It’s cool by the river. Must have been nice when people lived there. That bus must be there decades judging how far into the ground it sunk. There was a lot of garbage left behind like those vehicles and the trash on the ground. I really liked this one Brent. I wish you would post more videos more often. Anyway stay safe and well.👍🆒🚞

[@vickichristian2364]

What a great location! This would be a perfect spot to go to in the summer ❤

Great piece of history on this place and such a beautiful spot. Would have been a nice home in it time. I want that tiny radio :o) These kinds of places would be great for a couple of seniors on a fixed income. Thanks Brent. Stay safe and Happy Easter!!

[@mostlydollshelicopters4799]

Nice explore 👌

[@sandrabates7649]

This brings back memories of a story book called The Boxcar Children that our teacher would read a chapter to us after lunch.

[@colleenfarrell9977]

Makes me wonder if the guy living there was a draft Dover, hiding away from being sent off to war. Timeline kinda makes sense. What a cool find!

Thanks you for that one Very cool.

[@lavenderlilac8920]

Cool explore, Brent, thanks for taking us with you.

[@gaylebrodt676]

What a great find and exploration! I kept imagining what it all looked like back in the day. I bet it was really cool! I am thinking the shed that is made out of garage doors was probably a workshop of some sort and the wood was stored in the rail car. The layout of the caboose and addition to it is so neat along with the location right next to the river! I can just imagine that awesome greenhouse with beautiful flowers and green foliage in it. I am also thinking that at one time squatters lived there and the place was ransacked. I can't believe all the stuff that was left there, like the snowmobile and vehicles and so forth and that school bus is great. Stay safe out there Brent! Wonderful video, thank you! 👍😊

This one totally and completely creeped me out! I don't know why. I was relieved when it was over. A totally different vibe than the other "caboose" video you did. And even different than the houses that have been seriously trashed and decayed. And it looked like they had KIDS living in there. Yikes!

[@peggiegreen4420]

I don’t understand why the farmhouse would be torn down, but leave all that mess behind! It needs to be all cleaned up and hauled off!! It’s by a beautiful river and leaving all that mess isn’t environmentally safe! I hope it gets cleaned up! Thank you Brent for showing this, and that you’re not hurt!! Take care always! ❤
