BNSF Caboose's
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 6, 2004 11:13 AM
Hi from England [:)], is there any up to date rosters of BNSF cabooses that are still in use today. I have seen them in use in several locations but I dont know how many are still left. The one's I have seen have been ex SF modern cabooses but there must be ex BN ones left in service as well

I don't know about any rosters, but I know that a former BN caboose is in daily use in switching operations at Saginaw Yard in Saginaw, TX.

until a couple years ago, the BNSF always had a caboose on the Monticello sub to albertville runs. We still see it occasionally...
