Here in Columbus, GA, NS had spotted a red bay window caboose that had no markings except for a car number beginning with "X". This car would disappear when the railroad ran a "way freight" up the spur to a plywood/ pressed wood products mill north of town, and reappear when the train reappeared in town. My guess was that NS didn't want to switch out crews by van or leave the train unattended while it was being unloaded or loaded. <br /> <br />Other than maintenance of way trains, or using cabooses for backing purposes, has anyone else seen a train lately with an operating caboose on a Class I road? Or has FRED replaced them all in the US? <br /> <br />Erik
