Everything was still at the location south of Murray Avenue when we were of an age to go there; the north side hadn't been developed yet. There was a railroad caboose and an army tank, both of which were fully climbable. They were both genuine articles, as far as I know. You couldn't climb on the outside of the caboose, but you could climb up to the bunk beds on the inside. The last time I saw it, they had made it impossible to do that -- the ladders and the bunk area were blocked off with plexiglas. The army tank essentially served as a massive jungle-gym; I remember being left there to play on at least one occasion when I was some single-digit age. There were usually other kids around.

...and of course my first substantial encounter with Jenny took place there (see Woozle/Jenny/note/008).
