It is on display next to the Milwaukee Road depot in Clive, IA.

I had trouble finding it because the caboose and depot have been moved off of railroad property. This remnant of the Milwaukee is now owned by IAIS.

***Quick Update***

Just to address a few questions.  The City was not the owner of the caboose.  It was sold by the Historical Society to new owners in Missouri.  Any road closures will hopefully be brief.  Swanson Boulevard should be the only street affected, and businesses in the Swanson Depot will can still be accessed from NW 86th if need be.  

***Caboose on the Loose***

If you're in the area of NW 86th and Swanson Boulevard tomorrow, March 12th from noon to 2 pm, there will likely be some road closures and delays in the area as the caboose at Swanson Memorial Park is moved from it's current location to a new home.  

Unfortunately, the Clive Historical Society had to shut down, and that includes getting rid of the caboose that has sat there for years.   The Swanson House and Depot will remain for now, but if you're looking for something to do tomorrow, come on down and help us bid farewell.  It should be a sight.
