Well, Unfortunately they are not on the tail end of Trains anymore as we all know. The only way we can capture them is a snapshot out on the open road when we find one parked for observation.
I'll start.
Northern Pacific is one of my favorites. Makes a car and a small building look like toys how She stands way up high in the sky If you look closely, I think I left Judy in the car Her black hair matches the interior, Nice!
Show us your Caboose!
TF
Well here's a red one!
Isn't she just beautiful how the Town kept her up nice?
Up by Terry's house in Wisconsin. I think I may have posted this one last year too.
That's OK. Everyone loves a Red Caboose. Instead of just letting her sit there all by herself, I would rather post her for everyone else to enjoy too!
You need not have to ask. Yes, ...Judy and I did sit on the little bench in front of the Caboose before we left
Here is CSXT Caboose, #904003 at Cleveland about 9-years ago.
Remember its your railroad

Reminds me of an old joke.
After a train show TF walks into a lounge and sees a pretty girl sitting at the bar. Instead of letting her sit there all by herself, he walks up to her and says "everyone loves a red caboose; would you enjoy seeing mine?"

You're killing me Maxman
The joke has some truth to it! If I did show her, it probably would still be red as I got spanked a lot when I was a kid. I was a mischievous little Devil
For those of you not paying attention, the key word is (was)
I like the CSX Caboose you posted Allen. Hopefully you can post one of your Black River Valley RR model cabooses here as I have never seen one. Very curious to see.
And Now for Something Completely Different.
The Caboose in the sky at the local pub kitty-corner to Casey Jones Museum, Jackson Tennessee.
We had a burger and a beer at the Pub that day. Judy and I could not afford a hotel room that night so we climbed up the pole and spent the night in the Caboose. Good thing we did not get a storm because that does not look safe to me
Who says an extended cupola is a new idea?

Good thing you don't sleep-walk, either
Cheers, Ed

Well, ...I never did think of that at the time. Actually, Judy says that I have been known to do that before. That wouldn't have been too good Ed
If I did that night, ...I would have gave Neil Armstrong a run for his money
And I forgot to comment on #10, ... I like it. The perfect shade of weathered maroon
Minneapolis Northfield and Southern.
Still operational is nice. I like the bump out ones. She's similar to the CSX with less windows
BNSF gave this to our county fair board, who then gave it to a small town. I was sorry to see the names painted over.

That is a shame John. I would only hope to believe they have not finished restoring her yet.
Here ya go!
And just the right patina don't you think
Thanks for posting
Ex Wabash/Ann Arbor now DT&I Caboose at the Malinta, OH Historical Society location. Photographed this caboose while attending a DT&I modelers meet a few years ago.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Right out of the paint shop:

Good one Ed

That one's unique.
I'm not familiar with DT&I Rick.
Quite familiar with DW&P though.
Not sure if you would call that a dome top but it sure is an interesting looking caboose.
The Soo Line must have been short on lumber when they made this bobber!
