Okay Ed you get the cookie.
That is the best road Caboose I have ever seen in my life.
When I said Road pictures of Cabooses, I meant when you're traveling down the road on a road trip and you turn around on your way past a caboose and your wife says what the hell are you doing.
You turn around on the highway and go back to take a picture of a caboose.
So there you have it. Road pictures of cabooses, but Ed my friend you get the cookie
Missouri last year around Christmas time
You guys keep me alive and well.. I swear to God you do

Thanks, TF
I posted some caboose photos while the poor things were still working for the railroad, not "retired" yet.
Glad you like the photos of the caboose ON the road

That's a nice picture of you and your wife standing by the Erie caboose there Ed. You both look a little cold.
I liked all the Caboose pictures you posted, so there you go

Ed, that's a great shot of an old wood-era Erie caboose. I have a model of one that I built from a kit by Quality Craft IIRC.

A locomotive on the top of my Judy's head is way better than any caboose. You got to love her. I almost got to drive that locomotive that day but not quite, almost only counts in horseshoes

This is the caboose here in town getting a fresh coat of paint by members of a local church.

Sweet! I like this
Here is a brand new picture. I just saw this one today in Hahira, Georgia.

Look at those dead palm trees. Why would they plant palm trees in Georgia... this isn't South Florida. Leave the palms where they belong.
Just settled into the hotel in Atlanta. In Nashville next week.

??? The heck with the Palms. Do you have French dressing to put on your salad?
SeeYou190Look at those dead palm trees. Why would they plant palm trees in Georgia... this isn't South Florida. Leave the palms where they belong.
T'ose trees airen't dead, old chap! They're merely poining for the soil in Florider.
(Apologies to Monty Python......tough to write with a British accent.)

I should have called this thread Who's Caboose
Branson Missouri December 25th, earlier morning right before the other caboose, kitty corner across the road from our hotel.
Wayne you're a Brit. The guy I do a lot of subcontracting for is a Brit. If I talk to him too early in the morning his accent is so heavy I can barely understand what he's saying.
His parents live somewhere fancy in England not too far from David Gilmour and know him as an acquaintance.
I guess Dave is a pretty laid-back guy and was talking to Darren's parents telling them how his pool guys would come over and he would pay them for a full day just to sit around and socialize before they finally got to doing his job.
Apparently the pool guys were there and ready to go to work. Dave enjoyed their company and just needed some good people to talk to for a while.
Here is a brand new picture.
I saw this caboose today at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga.
I saw this one in Canon City, CO. It is an ice cream shop.

Two Rivers State Park in Nebraska has 10 of these UP cabooses, which are set up to rent for overnight stays.
B&O C-2124 at the Painesville, Ohio NYC depot. Every bit of wood has been replaced on this caboose as it was torched by vandals back in 2006

You can get a hot dog at this caboose at the New Milford (CT) railroad station:
Track fiddler...Wayne you're a Brit.....
Oy'm no ruddy limey now, am I? I mean, I speak English (and spell it, too), but I'm actually a Can-knucklehead.
I did have a Cockney uncle, though, and I don't recall understanding anything he ever said....nice bloke, though.
Oh come on now Wayne, with that Uncle of yours and all this Brit text here. You don't have just a little twist of English accent up there in Canada?
Oh come on now Ah..... just a little bit?
Oops, I almost forgot to add a Caboose.
Duluth Depot. Summer of 2017.
Track fiddler...You don't have just a little twist of English accent up there in Canada?....Laugh
Don't fergit, in Can-uh-da, we also god da Québecoise (Kay-beck-quaw) and doze guys don't god no Hanglish hack-sent, eh?
Trute-be told, I t'ink dat hall-most any ax-ent give a voice some care-ack-ter.
Regional accents and dialects, at least for folks speaking some form of English which we can understand, abound in the U.S. and Canada. The American friends that I visit definitely have discernible accents and I'm sure that my Canadian English has an accent noticeable to them, too.
Despite the apparently common useage here in Canada, I haven't ever called a caboose a "van". We have moving vans (parked ones, too) and mini vans, camper vans, and vans called shaggin' wagons, too, but everything shown in this thread looks like a caboose to me.
Three weeks or so ago in Wisconsin. Definitely one of my favorites. I may have posted it twice might reflect that fact.
I forgot which town again but Terry knows, it is some town in Northern Wisconsin and Wayne, you forgot to post your caboose ....... don't forget to post your caboose
Track fiddler...and Wayne, you forgot to post your caboose
Yeah, it must've come uncoupled.
A Runaway Caboose is never a good thing Wayne.
You better go across country on your horse and try to retrieve that.
Judy and I just watched that episode of Little House on the Prairie the other night.
Charles Ingalls did ride across country on his horse really fast and did retrieve that Runaway Caboose his kids were in
Duluth Depot, Third day of Summer 2017
I found one more caboose in Duluth left from my pics. I think I'm fresh out of cabeese.
I better hit the road again soon. I could use another road trip. Those road cabooses are all over out there
Hopefully you guys have some more. Noting like a good caboose. Enjoyed them all here. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Back in the early '90s, while driving around Colorado, I spotted a residence that was two cabooses back to back. One was a D&RGW (yellow) and the other ATSF (red). They were set up nicely and frankly they were beautiful!
To the best of my recall this was outside Durango, again about 1991 or so. I did take a pic (film camera) but can't locate it to show here.
Has anyone else seen that ?
ENJOY !

Yes, a yellow D&RG and red ATSF back to back...... I also recall they had plexiglas (I assume it wasn't regular glass) that enclosed the adjoining "porches" to keep the weather out.
