The cabooses are the only cars in this train that are original to the Sumpter Valley. We consider the Heisler to be original though technically it belonged to a separate company. W.H. Eccles was on the SVRy board of directors, and was the brother of founder David Eccles.

We needed the extra caboose to haul photographers as we elected to not use Coach 20. Taylor arrainged the train, so you will have to ask him about the marker lamps on the wrong end.
