CSL 5  Contributor's Pick!       
Tucked in behind CSL 31 and 28 was this even rarer caboose - oops - shoving platform #5. Actually this transfer caboose does look more like a shoving platform than a caboose. Note the large red warning disc above its door.

Robert Farkas General Good catch. Thirty years ago railroaders would have laughed at calling this a "shoving platform." 10/29/2011 11:22:23 AM
Fred Stuckmann General Right, it was a transfer caboose in those days. Nice album Gary. 10/29/2011 5:08:07 PM
