Since the tragic demise of cabooses on our freight trains, they have been sold in large numbers to all kinds of people and used for many different things. So, what's the strangest example of a location or use of a caboose that you can think of? Of course, the obvious answer that comes to mind immediately is being pulled along at the end of a freight train. But do you guys know of any besides that? I'll start the ball rolling with a sighting that inspired me to start this topic. On the weekend, I was in Edmonton to catch the Canadian, which I rode to Winnipeg. While driving through an industrial area of Edmonton, I saw an enormous crane at some kind of a steel mill or something. It was the kind where there is a very long beam that the crane moves back and forth along. Anyway, perched up on top of this beam, 100 or more feet in the air, was a bright orange CN caboose! No, I'm not making this up. It isn't just for decoration, because there were steps on either end of it, so people must obviously go in it. Unfortunetly, it was anything but convienient to get a picture of it and I couldn't find a picture on the net. So, what wierd and wild caboose locations and uses can you think of?
