    Conrail #23660, location unknown, August 1981, photo by Chuck Zeiler I'm pretty sure this was shot in the Chicago area. It's a caboose with obvious heritage. I wish I had more info about this caboose, and I'll bet there's a lot of stories this caboose could tell. Anyway, if anyone has any...

    Van convention?

    How unusual is it to see 5 cabooses all together outside of a museum or a tourist RR setting. As you can probably guess by the couch in the foreground, this isn't the best setting by far - a converted landfill, i.e. garbage hill. These cabooses along with various work equipement, mostly bunk...

    What a waste of electricity

    The lights at the Millbrae Caltrain/BART station burn brightly into the wee hours of the morning even though neither system is operating at this time.
