Herndon Caboose Park is located in the heart of Herndon, VA, and is a small but historically significant park centered around a restored caboose from the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Railroad. This vibrant red caboose serves as a nod to the town’s railway heritage and is a favorite spot for photos. There are a few benches and green spaces, as well as informational plaques about the area’s railroading history. Situated along the popular W&OD Trail, it’s a popular rest stop for cyclists and walkers.
