[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Eriediamond Roadtrp, the cabeese? era came to an end near the middle 80's. However some are still used today on local switching operations in metropolitan areas in the form of "transfer cabooses" as shoving strings of cars along tracks with crossings still require warning whistles and crossing protection, which these cabooses perform. To Big-Boy, That Cheesie caboose was probably in transit to someone who purchased it. It was on the end of the train because of it being in storage and not maintained for so many years and less likely to cause major problems if in the middle or front end of the train. Thanks, Ken [/quote] Actually, now that I think about it, it was 3 cars from the end. It was cool though, a bay window, probably from the C&O![:D][;)]
