Email: thecanyonmotel@aol.com
The Canyon Motel elected to move two old original 1929 Cabooses on to the property and transform them into lodging suites. But wait, that’s not all, they also brought in a Grand Canyon Pullman railcar and have also made this into Lodging quarters. All these train cars are equipped with baths, heaters, air conditioners, small refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers as well as Cable TV with VHS players. The owners say that these train cars are far and away the most requested and reserved units that they have.
Over the past few years, there has been an increasingly amount of guests that have reported strange occurrences in there overnight Caboose visits. The reports of strange sounds in the night, the lights going on and off for no reason and even seeing an old conductor walking through the caboose swinging a lantern in the middle of the dark night. A housekeeper even reports hearing talking or whispering going on in the middle of the day while she works. She knows it’s weird, but also points out that nobody else is even around. They all say there is some type of unexplainable energy taking place inside the Cabooses. After all these reports from various guests, the owners started looking into what this was all about, however they kept falling short when it came to logical explanations. The investigating, probing and non-stop search for answers always seemed to come up short and unexplainable. So as new guests continue to arrive, the hopes are that someone spending an evening can help with some possible answers.

Ronks, PA 17579
Phone: 717-687-5000, 888-687-5005
It all started in 1969 when Don Denlinger was dared to bid on 19 old cabooses being auctioned off by the Pennsylvania Rail Road. Although Don jokingly put in a bid below the scrap value of the cabooses, he still had the highest bid and was now stuck with the old train cabooses. What can you do with 19 Rail Road Cabooses??? Turn them into a motel of course! What started off as a dare has grown into one of Lancaster County's most unusual motel, with over 40 rooms made from fully restored 25-ton cabooses. Located in the heart of Amish farmlands, the Red Caboose is now owned by Larry Demarco. After years of neglect, Larry has begun to fully restore the many colored cabooses to bring back the family fun. The Antlers
