I have a sighting and a question. [:0] [8D] <br /> <br />The other day I was waiting for a train to pass and noticed several railcars painted for Dupont. It seems like one was a tank car and one was a boxcar. (I think there was at least one more car but not sure.) There were two odd things about them. One was, I noticed a sign on them that said something about responsibility which at the time struck me as odd. Then the last car paint in the Dupont scheme turned out to be a caboose. [:0] [:p] [:)] All the windows had been covered and it looked like the rear door was padlocked. That leads me to believe that it was unoccupied. Now my question is this--what would be in a caboose that a boxcar wouldn't carry? Of course, people comes to mind first. But like I said, I believe at least one door was padlocked and all the windows were blanked. I would think that would not make for a very pleasant ride or a safe one either. <br /> <br />At the time I was pretty busy and didn't have much time to think about it. Now I wish I would have called Zach and had him be on the look out for it. Then he could have gotten some photos and shared them with us. I didn't notice the caboose until it was too late to try and capture a photo of it. [:(!] [:(] [B)] [8] [V] <br /> <br />Has anybody ever seen this caboose or one like it? ? ? [?] [?] [?] <br /> <br />Anyone know what it might contain ? ? ? [?] [?] [?] <br /> <br />
