Went fishing this morning, down in Galveston, with my 11 year old daughter..got smoked by the kid, 25 to 8...
Now, for the railroad part.
I found a old, wooden SP caboose being used as a beach house.
It's up on stilts, and has a driveway and a front porch added, but it sure looks like a old, wooden SP caboose.
Painted red and white, kinda neat.
I would post a photo, but I am computer illiterate, among other forms of illiteracy, so if you want to see what it looks like, e-mail me and I will send you the photo...

Sounds like a fish story to me. [:D] [:D] [:D]

That nice new digital camera you have should be able to post pics on a website. If you don't know how, have the fisherlady show you. [;)] [:)] [8D]

We look forward to seeing that caboose now. [:p]

When are you having the forum over for a fish fry? [:p]

Joe and Matt can bring the french fries. [:)]

If you don't have the caboose pic on a website then go ahead and email it to me. [:D]

I might want to vacation in it one of these days. [:p]

Not a bad idea. If a caboose can have survived life on the SP, it will probably stand up well in a hurricane.[:D]
