<P mce_keep="true">Uhh, well I can answer maybe a few questions:</P> <P mce_keep="true">2.) BNSF has repainted a number of cabeese, some in an all-white scheme that I occasionally see parked on a siding in Cambridge, MN for use by the Hinckley Local.</P> <P mce_keep="true">3.) While not a shortline during their brief existence, the Chicago Central & Pacific routinely included a caboose on their Manchester-Cedar Rapids turn as late as 1994. I saw it many mornings on my way into work, on the end of their train as it was being yarded in the ex-IC yard downtown by the power plant.</P> <P mce_keep="true">4.) I don't think it's just a fancy name. I believe those cabeese carry specialized electronic gear for researching track/roadbed stability, defects, etc.</P>
