WebUrbanist has a great roundup of pictures of train cars that have been converted to other uses, such as hotels, houses, and bridges. The image above is of a train car that has been turned into a Russian Orthodox church — an emerging trend in Russia.

    A friend of mine lived in a caboose for many years. Of course it had a kitchen,living room and bathroom built on. The caboose functioned as bedroom on one side and a recording booth on the other. I've always admired the reconditioned dining cars.

    I would love to get a old car like that and make it into a small house. You could even down the road buy more and make it even bigger.
