Still in the colors of its original owner, Burlington Northern wide-vision caboose 10117 brings up the rear of a BN freight departing Auburn, Washington, on September 17, 1979. Constructed a mere dozen years earlier (in September 1967), as Chicago Burlington & Quincy number 13649.
Have you ever watched cabooses, enjoyed their uniqueness, wondered about the men inside, or the jobs they do? Once an everyday sight on the rails, they have decreased in numbers, yet they are a very important part of railroad history.
