My pictures are my scree saver and a few moments ago I saw a caboose flash by on the monitor.

I searched and found the following. It is a B&O

 The tree must have been the subject.

This SP, HO caboose was used in the movie Repo Chick a few years ago.  The producer couldn't afford a prototype caboose.

Here is one my favorites!

This is a Custom Brass 700 Series Caboose, originally built by the Wheeling & Lake Erie and repainted in the High Speed Service Scheme.

Rick JMy 2 Cents

 

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Directly related to New York Central.

Indiana Harbor Belt #68.

These were used in transfer service.

This is the 1970's era for IHB.

Back then, the blanked out cupola and windows were unusual.

The switchers and cabooses, looked very close to New York Central at the time.

1969 on the Burlington Route. A vintage SW7 by Athearn and an Athearn caboose. Always preferred the CB&Q over the BN..

Other times, that roll of 36 shots on a 35mm would run out, just when your train was approaching for the close-up, but if one was quick, the caboose could still get shot.

This is a picture of Durango yard, with caboose 0505 waiting for Rio Grande 70-tonner 99 to tack it on on the end of a group of empties headed back to the coal mine at Hesperus.
