Oh, I couldn't make out the wording on the side. <br /> <br />Montana Rail Link found a pretty good use for all of their cabooses, they hold all the electronics for their remote loco operations. <br /> <br />Looks neat too see them all buzzing around the yard, it's nice that they didn't all end up in the scrap yard. <br /> <br />BC Rail actually still uses cabooses in some places up noth. Apparently you have to either have a Wayside detection system ever 60 miles or your train must have a caboose. <br /> <br />Well, because there are some spots up North that have no access to electricity and you don't get enough ligh tto power up the solar panels, it worked out to be cheaper just to keep the cabooses in operaiton. <br /> <br />I'm gonna have to try and get up there and see this before CN takes over.
