The St. Louis Southwestern Railway (Cotton Belt Route) Caboose #2325 is a historic railroad caboose. It was built in 1920 by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (aka the Cotton Belt) at its Pine Bluff, Arkansas shop, and is one of only a few surviving 2300-series cabooses. It was used by the railroad on its Paragould-Blytheville route, and was acquired by the Paperton Junction Southern Railway in 1980 and restored.[2]

The caboose was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] At that time, it was located at the Paperton Junction Southern Railway rail yard in Pine Bluff.
