A rare Union Pacific CA-11 caboose takes the weekend off in the former D&RGW Fourth South Yard in Salt Lake City. The 25889 was built new by International Car for the UP in July 1979. Note how the 'Keep on Trucking by Train' slogan and the UP Shield have faded to white with 33 years of exposure to the elements.
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.
