Any trucking outfit with a low boy, or perhaps even a step deck (cheaper.) You will need a crane. Lift the caboose off it's trucks, set it down on it's frame on the lowboy, set the trucks fore and aft of the caboose and down the road you go. If as others indicate there is a height issue, you will want the crane as you can gain height without doing anything to the caboose structure. The trucking outfit will have your crane contacts.
Load out is about an hour as is unloading. So expect 8 hours of crane time as they usually charge out and back in addition to working time.
