The Soo Line must have been short on lumber when they made this bobber!

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.

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!
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
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.

Minneapolis Northfield and Southern.
Still operational is nice. I like the bump out ones. She's similar to the CSX with less windows
gmpullman Good thing you don't sleep-walk, either Cheers, Ed
Good thing you don't sleep-walk, either
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
Who says an extended cupola is a new idea?

Track fiddlerJudy and I could not afford a hotel room that night so we climbed up the pole and spent the night in the Caboose.
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

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)
Track fiddlerEveryone 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!
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?"
Here is CSXT Caboose, #904003 at Cleveland about 9-years ago.
Remember its your railroad

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
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!
