MP Caboose
Title:  MP Caboose
Description:  This old caboose had a flat car kicked at it in the yard, it telescoped, took the cupola off, it was plated over, and served as a crew shelter for many years in the yard about a quarter mile from here. McCoy cleared a bunch of junk out and unhid the caboose so I got some shots of it. For a before photo visit: http://trainweb.org/dbrr/cabsavedhtml/MP13517.html .
