The Caribou Creek served as the Alaska Railroad's business car until 1972 when it was replaced by the Denali. Today, the Caribou Creek resides in Elbe, Washington as part of the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad.

Caribou Creek was built by American Car and Foundary in 1917. It was rebuilt by International Railway Car and Equipment Company. The Alaska Railroad purchased it in October of 1947 from the Bureau of Mines.
