I'll second that motion, Jeff -

Since I'm guilty of a similar suggestion myself (see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.)  Run it behind a string of stock cars, since some midwestern lines provided these so-called "drovers' cabooses" to accommodate the stockmen who accompanied shipments of cattle or sheep that had to be unloaded for feed and water a time or two while en route for several days from loading pen to final destination.

- Gramps

p.s. I've always thought drovers' cabeese were cool critters, and built two in HOn3 well over half my life ago - see [ngdiscussion.net] for a couple of pics of the second one.
