Espresso Express Caboose in Longview, Washington on September 5, 2005

And of course, I like trains, so I can't resist including this old caboose turned espresso stand. According to owners Dan & Laura Estey, it was built in 1933 for the Northern Pacific Railway, and it was eventually acquired by the Weyerhaeuser Woods Railroad as their #6 and was used on log trains around Longview. Dan & Laura Estey purchased it from Weyerhaeuser in 1996 and kept "Old #6's" Weyerhaeuser number.
