Mark Hall Patton standing in front of a historical caboose. I've always admired Mark. He always knows! That man's life is all about history and everything that goes with it.
He's a favorite of mine. The Administer of the Clark County Museum and a member of the Henderson Historical Society.
Mark knows his history. I catch clips and documentaries. I'm grateful for people like this and always interested in what he has to say because he knows what he's talking about

I see you were a handsome devil in your youth as well Ed. I must say that little sweetheart companion of yours was better-looking though
And what's the deal I've noticed that all conductors always look like conductors.
Osceola Railroad, Wisconsin 2019
Everything's a bummer about the pandemic. Steve told me if I made it back over there this summer he'd let me drive the GP9 Soo Line locomotive
Track fiddlerSweet!!! That must have been an Exciting Day to Remember Ed
Aah, yes, indeed!

The fellow in the conductors uniform, rest his soul, is Joe Sullenberger. I miss that ol' fellow. He used to work on the Northern Alberta Ry. The young lady was a companion for a while
Cheers, Ed
Sweet!!!

This one really IS road-ready!

I was assisting the move from Burton, Ohio to our model railroad club in Middlefield back in 1998.
I like em!
Ed, Kevin, You can never get too much of Red Cabeese! And if you did post those before, I probably wouldn't remember anyway
There's a reason they have that saying, "Do a Double Take" It applies when a good-looking woman walks by or a good looking Caboose is near
Per your suggestions, I will start over Road Pictures of Cabooses in 2021.
Thanks for posting
gmpullmanMine might be a duplicate, too. Maybe a new thread for 2021?
Great idea... anything to wipe the slate of 2020 clean.
This year was just awful.

Living the dream.

I think that is it.

This one is at Pleasant Lake, Indiana, replete with a Christmas tree in the window!

I found this one in an unnamed folder. I have no idea where I was when I took this picture.
Liked the faded red Western Railroad Kevin. And the faded blue B&O Ed. Some good old patina going on those cabeese!
A little worse for wear, she probably racked up twenty-million miles or more:

Found another one, in Washington State, that I photographed last year.

Thanks Ed for bringing up this one-year-old thread.
I'm all out of Road pictures of cabooses because I haven't been on a road trip for quite a while in light of our new weird world.
I guess a recap is in order
She's a Beauty not too far away from Terry's house up by Sarona, Wisconsin
Cool!
I'll take the Green Penn Central or the Blue Conrail, I haven't decided yet. Just too bad they don't have a Great Northern or a Northern Pacific.
Thanks Ed
Track fiddlerI wouldn't mind having one of those for a conversation piece on my layout
Bowser is your friend

That's a really unique looking caboose Ed. It definitely looks restored and is old because there hasn't been any cabeese for years. It does look rather retro and was ahead-of-its-time at that time is my guess.

gmpullmanI was there in '72 and found this one in Homestead (Florida City):
I will need to keep my eyes open when I am travelling in Florida. I usually do not pay attention like I do in other areas... I have seen all of Florida before.
This caboose was seen in West Virginia.
SeeYou190I just realized that I do not have a single picture of a caboose taken here in Florida. I cannot ever recall seeing a caboose on display.

Florida East Coast Caboose by Edmund, on Flickr
I believe it was moved to the Gold Coast Museum.
I just realized that I do not have a single picture of a caboose taken here in Florida.
I cannot ever recall seeing a caboose on display.
There are a few locmotives around, but I know of no cabooses.
Strange. When I cross the border to Georgia they are everywhere.
Very nice indeed Kevin. I love well done restorations. I'm the kind of guy who can really appreciate them.
That's why I always stop by and visit this Caboose I started the thread with.
It was restored properly. It isn't a bunch of paint over paint or any rushed slapped together hodgepodge. She was restored well by Craftsmen, not a bunch of hacks.
A couple of nice looking BALTIMORE AND OHIO cabooses from the road:
Thanks Ed, Thanks Kevin.
This has all been surprising railroad news to me. I'll be keeping that picture with the other ones and texting them to my brother tonight. He will appreciate it more than you know.
My brother is a DWP nut. I even bought him a DWP shirt, he wears it all the time. For Christmas I gave him a DWP RS11 number 3606. He said thank you too much, that's how much he liked it.
Track fiddlerKevin, where did you get that photo? I would like to know where the prototype to my model ended up TF
That's on the Adrian & Blissfield Railroad:
Track fiddlerKevin, where did you get that photo?
I did not take notes on that one. Given the order of the images, it was in Southern Michigan between Chelsea and Blissfield.
