Re: Good looking cabooses

So here are earlier views of 05635, and 0306. As converted from stock car 5635, caboose 05635 looked very unlike anything ever used on the D&RGW. The rebuilding is a huge improvement, and the car looks much more plausible as the last car on a photo freight.
197. C&TS caboose 05636 in 1982, in its original form, but not the original fire engine red paint used when it was completed in 1976.
161. C&TS caboose 0306, a conversion from box car 3060, nearing completion in the yard at Chama NM in 1982.
237. C&TS caboose 0306 in 1983.
211. C&TS cabooses 0565, 0306 and 0503 at Chama NM, in 1983.
Cheers!
