Caboose Safety Slogans

[wjstix]

Great Northern had 9 safety slogans that were tied to the last digit of the caboose number, so for example all the cabooses whose number ended in 3 got the same slogan.

The New York Central had a neat one, (sorry, don't have a picture to post) a green late-era caboose with the slogan  "Life is like a baseball game, it's how many times you get home safe that counts!"

While few roads (UP comes to mind) had a variety of safety slogans applied to their cabooses, many had a safety slogan applied.  IHB had "Your Future Depends on Your Safety Today" on its wooden cabooses, Chicago Short Line included "Safety First" in its herald on both locomotives and cabooses, etc.

Many roads had safety slogans on their Cabeese. Times past!

Here are some from the Toronto Hamilton and Buffalo Rwy

62 a rare bay window caboose. One of the very few in Canada. 
Look Around Getting Down Safety slogan

---

62 was rebuilt at the Aberdeen Car Shop into a bay window configuration in 1967 
and 66 was converted the same way in 1968.

It was felt that the bay window configuration would provide better visibility for train inspections. 

Van 62 spent a large amount of time in Welland assigned to the Day Port Assignment, while Van 66 was assigned to the American Hoist (X-755). In 1983, vandals set fire to 66 at Kinnear Yard and the gutted remains were sold to the 
Port Stanley Terminal Rly. 62 was reassigned to the Amercian Hoist and one of the 80 series vans assigned to Welland.
