In response to comments about the cabooses that appear across the tracks from the Izaak Walton Inn (photo 260312), these are static cabooses that are available for rent from the Inn. There are a total of four and they are painted in GN, BN, MRL and CB&Q colors. I looked at all the truck sideframes for original ownership, but I did not take any notes.

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.
