Since the home is in Colorado, the couple was careful to add a door to the installation, so no heat will escape during the cold winters. They truly have thought of everything.

In addition to functionality, the roof space gives impeccable views of the forest and sky.

While hoping to keep the historical aspects of the train car, the couple decided to enhance some of the car’s original features. The home is filled with hanging lights and plenty of plants, in order to achieve a greenhouse vibe.
