Tank the second caboose was built in the summer of 1976. I know cause I was there volunteering for a week and Keller put me to work with the crew building the new caboose from a boxcar. It was the outside frame one that was painted red when done. I have some movies of its maiden voyage and I believe 483 was the power on at least one train I shot then. One of the other volunteers was a regular out there, a guy from Kansas. They let him play brakeman or some such on the train after the caboose was finished. Heck I never even got offered a ride after a full week of work!!!! So as usual I chased!!!
