Tuesday, September 7. 2010Caboose Train - September 4-6, 2010 First Trip On Saturday at 12:15 PM the first caboose run in 'public service' was made with UP 3786. Also in the consist was our CGW 601 which has had a nagging air brake problem (now repaired), and CB&Q 13572. The above image shows what the consist and motive power was for that first trip. The train ran all three days and with a variety of motive power. It was very nice to see CB&Q 504 on the front with matching caboose bringing up the markers, but I believe gremlins were hard at work. So the SP 1518 served some trips and on Monday afternoon, I believe TMER&L L4 was the electric engine that pulled the train. Comments

It was nice to see the TMER&L L4 pulling the caboose train. Really a change-up. One I've never seen out there.
