If you are talking about the caboose in CSX paint it is technically a Bay Window Caboose, and that I have caught many times. The Wide Vision or extended Vision caboose is still in yellow Chessie/C&O paint. I have seen it once.MQT3001 wrote:Only active cab in GR is the CSX wide vision...the rest are OOS.

That is a C&O caboose, and one time I was told it's number but it escapes me. It has C&O castings on the trucks, and I believe it's in the 90000 series. Yellow paint is coming through in some spots.MQT3001 wrote:I'm guessing this would be the one that came into town with the John Engler, and it still just sitting on its panel track.

That's a real nice caboose when I last saw it, but it was hard to see from the road. Maybe a PRR caboose could be purchased to compliment the GT caboose to reflect two of the owners of the former MGR&I. I don't believe any GR&I equipment survives.EWRice wrote:No. That one is still for sale and sitting in Coopersville. I believe the one that has been purchased is the gtw caboose on 68th st in Alendale.MQT3001 wrote:I'm guessing this would be the one that came into town with the John Engler, and it still just sitting on its panel track.
