The first shot was taken by me a few years ago showing cabooses 3 and 5 in front of the shop at McEwen. The second shot is taken inside the McEwen Car shop of a mystery caboose. Can you guess which one it is? The remaining shots are of snow plow #1. Notice in the 4th image posted I have cropped the 3rd shot to show the stake pockets on the re-purposed car that became snowplow #1. More on that in my next post. You may have noted in my two posts of SVRy caboose photos that a photo of #1 is absent. I do have a pretty good shot of #1 when it was being used by Baker White Pine Lumber Co. Interestingly the stove pipe is centered from side to side and the cupola is near the end of the caboose rather than being nearly centered from end to end like the others. This shot was shared with me by Mal Ferrell, and I would need his permission to share it.
This post was to have been my 2nd of 3, but managed to put in in the wrong place.
