Track fiddler...You don't have just a little twist of English accent up there in Canada?....Laugh
Don't fergit, in Can-uh-da, we also god da Québecoise (Kay-beck-quaw) and doze guys don't god no Hanglish hack-sent, eh?
Trute-be told, I t'ink dat hall-most any ax-ent give a voice some care-ack-ter.
Regional accents and dialects, at least for folks speaking some form of English which we can understand, abound in the U.S. and Canada. The American friends that I visit definitely have discernible accents and I'm sure that my Canadian English has an accent noticeable to them, too.
Despite the apparently common useage here in Canada, I haven't ever called a caboose a "van". We have moving vans (parked ones, too) and mini vans, camper vans, and vans called shaggin' wagons, too, but everything shown in this thread looks like a caboose to me.

Oh come on now Wayne, with that Uncle of yours and all this Brit text here. You don't have just a little twist of English accent up there in Canada?
Oh come on now Ah..... just a little bit?

Oops, I almost forgot to add a Caboose.

Track fiddler...Wayne you're a Brit.....
Oy'm no ruddy limey now, am I? I mean, I speak English (and spell it, too), but I'm actually a Can-knucklehead.
I did have a Cockney uncle, though, and I don't recall understanding anything he ever said....nice bloke, though.
You can get a hot dog at this caboose at the New Milford (CT) railroad station:
B&O C-2124 at the Painesville, Ohio NYC depot. Every bit of wood has been replaced on this caboose as it was torched by vandals back in 2006

Two Rivers State Park in Nebraska has 10 of these UP cabooses, which are set up to rent for overnight stays.

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."
I saw this one in Canon City, CO. It is an ice cream shop.
Here is a brand new picture.

I saw this caboose today at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga.

Living the dream.
I should have called this thread Who's Caboose
Branson Missouri December 25th, earlier morning right before the other caboose, kitty corner across the road from our hotel.
Wayne you're a Brit. The guy I do a lot of subcontracting for is a Brit. If I talk to him too early in the morning his accent is so heavy I can barely understand what he's saying.
His parents live somewhere fancy in England not too far from David Gilmour and know him as an acquaintance.
I guess Dave is a pretty laid-back guy and was talking to Darren's parents telling them how his pool guys would come over and he would pay them for a full day just to sit around and socialize before they finally got to doing his job.
Apparently the pool guys were there and ready to go to work. Dave enjoyed their company and just needed some good people to talk to for a while.
SeeYou190Look at those dead palm trees. Why would they plant palm trees in Georgia... this isn't South Florida. Leave the palms where they belong.
T'ose trees airen't dead, old chap! They're merely poining for the soil in Florider.
(Apologies to Monty Python......tough to write with a British accent.)
??? The heck with the Palms. Do you have French dressing to put on your salad?
Here is a brand new picture. I just saw this one today in Hahira, Georgia.

Just settled into the hotel in Atlanta. In Nashville next week.

A locomotive on the top of my Judy's head is way better than any caboose. You got to love her. I almost got to drive that locomotive that day but not quite, almost only counts in horseshoes

Ed, that's a great shot of an old wood-era Erie caboose. I have a model of one that I built from a kit by Quality Craft IIRC.

That's a nice picture of you and your wife standing by the Erie caboose there Ed. You both look a little cold.
I liked all the Caboose pictures you posted, so there you go
Track Fiddler
Track fiddlerSo there you have it. Road pictures of cabooses, but Ed my friend you get the cookie — When I said Road pictures of Cabooses, I meant when you're traveling down the road on a road trip and you turn around on your way past a caboose and your wife says what the hell are you doing.

Thanks, TF
I posted some caboose photos while the poor things were still working for the railroad, not "retired" yet.
Glad you like the photos of the caboose ON the road

gmpullman Track fiddler Does that look safe? I dunno? Will it withstand 100 MPH winds? Well, you did say you wanted Road Caboose photos? Here's a caboose on the road!

Okay Ed you get the cookie.
That is the best road Caboose I have ever seen in my life.

You turn around on the highway and go back to take a picture of a caboose.
So there you have it. Road pictures of cabooses, but Ed my friend you get the cookie

No pictures- but saw a DM&IR RR caboose (number unknown) on a drop deck semi trailer heading south from Superior WI about 3 weeks ago. Caboose trucks were on the trailer of the semi following the one carrying the caboose body. Figured some one has a project in the works. Any one have any info about it?
