Cabooses for trains going into Virginia
Another relic from the past.
Class C-3Oa, typical to the local in those days.
Class C-31
Virginia's caboose law made it possible to photograph cabooses on intermodal trains until the summer of 1988.
One of Chessie's colorful safety cabeese brightens up a dreary day in Grafton as it departs town on a westbound drag.
This caboose shares the rails with Frisco 2-8-0 , SL & SF 19 as a static display.
VB 4 finished and waiting for Service. Notice it is different then the other 3 VB's. It has a solar panel on the roof and yellow dash lines at the bottom instead of white
ATSF 999110 and SP 4049 sit in a siding at Fullerton Jct. as a westbound stack train passes by.
CSX Marion yard job crosses the NS diamonds and by AC tower, a former Erie tower, with its Erie painted caboose, exx ERIE/EL C347 ex CR/NYC 21114, CR Class N7D, built 12/53
Before leaving Fort Wayne I spotted this sitting in the FWRHS yard in New Haven.
Evidence of a long gone coal operation...
One GP40-2, two gondolas, and a caboose complete with conductor, are all headed for Demmler Yard.
