Sean:

You might want to consider firing that engineer if it takes that many conductors to keep him under the posted speed limits! Clown

Cool... I am a caboose freak too. I have almost as many as I do normal rolling stock. I cannot pass up an Aristrocraft or USA Trains caboose on Ebay for less that 40 bucks.

Looks like the RR is retiring it's cabooses and hauling them to the scrap yard all at once!

Sean: Not trying to be offensive or anything, but for the longest time I thought this pic was neat.  Not sure if it is caused by lighting but that timber bent your crane has suspended sure looks like an old one and not compatible with the design of the new bridge under construction.  The question I’ve wanted to ask, “Are we looking at the ‘second’ bridge in that location?”  It could make for an interesting storyline if that photo was taken during re-construction of the bridge.
