HI Tom
Great caboose photos from ROB and TOM.
I'm afraid I don't have a caboose photo but perhaps you might like a photo of the last steam locomotive built by British Railways in March 1960.
Class 9F 2-10-0 No. 92220 in action on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway in the mid 1970s
A close of of the nameplate and commerative plaque on 92220.

Another Van this time an old end cupola CP number in London Ontario,another of the shots I picked up at the ole flea market years ago.
Well lets see time to drop off one more for the evening.
A CN wood caboose retired in Northern Ontario
Good afternoon All:
PAs and cabs - nice selection. If you look hard at the right side of the MP PA you will see part of a US Army hospital car, I believe.
Rob - CN cab is beautiful - marker lights all! Nice shot.
Rob, Shane 'n Moi - the troublesome trio rides again!
Good eye, Shane - that does indeed look like a hospital car!
As always, continuing cabooses/vans from trolleyMAN!
Mine for this week's end . . .

oops the turned another page ! and with a great PA3 to boot I'm glad you liked the caboose Shane.It's amazing how many of those old wooden ones are still around alot of them are ice cream stands or attractions of some sort but hey they are still with us.I bet those kerosene lanterns cost the owner almost as much as the caboose did.
Finally ran out of cabooses so here's a shot of the CP's one of a kind RSD17 at the Elgin County Museum where she now lives in retirement.
So, this lonely Thread of ours has made it to Page 12, eh Hmmmm - here's a dozen drumheads to commemorate the event! Good observation, Rob 'n nice run with the cabooses! Fine looking RSD17 too!

Something of the unusual.One of teh EX CP deisel hydrolics built by CLC for branchline use in teh 1950's. This one still runs and offsets the little CNR mogels that usually pull the South Simcoe's tourist trains in Ontario. They kept the CPR colours and number on this little switcher.
