Well, Unfortunately they are not on the tail end of Trains anymore as we all know. The only way we can capture them is a snapshot out on the open road when we find one parked for observation.
I’ll start.
Northern Pacific is one of my favorites. Makes a car and a small building look like toys how She stands way up high in the sky[Y] If you look closely, I think I left Judy in the car[:-^] Her black hair matches the interior, Nice! [(-D]
Show us your Caboose!
TF
Well here’s a red one!
Isn’t she just beautiful how the Town kept her up nice?
Up by Terry’s house in Wisconsin. I think I may have posted this one last year too.
That’s OK. Everyone loves a Red Caboose. Instead of just letting her sit there all by herself, I would rather post her for everyone else to enjoy too!
You need not have to ask. Yes, …Judy and I did sit on the little bench in front of the Caboose before we left[:)]

Here is CSXT Caboose, #904003 at Cleveland about 9-years ago.
Reminds me of an old joke.
After a train show TF walks into a lounge and sees a pretty girl sitting at the bar. Instead of letting her sit there all by herself, he walks up to her and says “everyone loves a red caboose; would you enjoy seeing mine?”
[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]
You’re killing me Maxman[(-D]
The joke has some truth to it! If I did show her, it probably would still be red as I got spanked a lot when I was a kid. I was a mischievous little Devil[:-,][(-D]
For those of you not paying attention, the key word is (was)[(-D][(-D][(-D]

I like the CSX Caboose you posted Allen. Hopefully you can post one of your Black River Valley RR model cabooses here as I have never seen one. Very curious to see.
And Now for Something Completely Different.
The Caboose in the sky at the local pub kitty-corner to Casey Jones Museum, Jackson Tennessee.
We had a burger and a beer at the Pub that day. Judy and I could not afford a hotel room that night so we climbed up the pole and spent the night in the Caboose. Good thing we did not get a storm because that does not look safe to me[:S][:|]

Who says an extended cupola is a new idea?
Good thing you don’t sleep-walk, either [:-^]
Cheers, Ed

Well, …I never did think of that at the time. Actually, Judy says that I have been known to do that before. That wouldn’t have been too good Ed[(-D]
If I did that night, …I would have gave Neil Armstrong a run for his money[(-D][(-D]
And I forgot to comment on #10, … I like it. The perfect shade of weathered maroon[Y]

Minneapolis Northfield and Southern.
Still operational is nice. I like the bump out ones. She’s similar to the CSX with less windows

BNSF gave this to our county fair board, who then gave it to a small town. I was sorry to see the names painted over.
That is a shame John. I would only hope to believe they have not finished restoring her yet.
Here ya go!
And just the right patina don’t you think
Thanks for posting[:)]

Ex Wabash/Ann Arbor now DT&I Caboose at the Malinta, OH Historical Society location. Photographed this caboose while attending a DT&I modelers meet a few years ago.

Chicago Northwestern[:P]
Good one Ed[Y]

That one’s unique.
I’m not familiar with DT&I Rick.
Quite familiar with DW&P though.
Not sure if you would call that a dome top but it sure is an interesting looking caboose.

The Soo Line must have been short on lumber when they made this bobber!
