When the Alaska Railroad retired a fleet of cabooses,
the city of Whittier, Alaska acquired one in 1990 and
allowed the Auxiliary to use the caboose as the home
for Flotilla 02-04 (D17). Area Auxiliarists renovated
and painted it in Team Coast Guard colors and it soon
became a Whittier icon. To local Auxiliarists, “The
Caboose” is a focal point of Auxiliary activities. For
the public, everyone notices its unique colors and is
mindful of the Coast Guard’s presence.
