My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Every town has a sno-cone stand, but few have one in a 56,000 pound caboose in a downtown backyard. After twenty-six years as an Ocean Springs police officer, Timmy Tue retired in 2000 and began working for CSX Railroad. Soon afterwards, his friends thought he was crazy when he bought a caboose on the Internet and had it shipped to Ocean Springs from near Chicago. The 1956 railcar arrived in late 2001, was loaded on an eighteen-wheeler, and carefully maneuvered to a residential backyard! There, Tue completely restored the caboose, added picnic tables and swings to the yard, and opened Caboose Cones, the coolest sno-cone stand on the planet!
