The photo shows up just fine for me as well, Kevin. Looks great!

I dedicated this C&O caboose to Brakie {Larry} upon his passing —

Ed: "I think there's still more cabooses we can see."

NYC cupola caboose. Nothing exotic, just standard.

More cabooses, exoti or otherwise.

Rick: "More Cabooses please."

Found this UP caboose in a small train store. Doubt if it represents any prototype, but you never know.

More of the same please.
