Nice shot, nice caboose, but you obviously aren't referring to the GN's "Blue Period!"

Interesting trucks under that caboose too. Were these new with the caboose or repurposed from something else, like an express reefer or something?

I think a better slogan would have been:

BE WISE - BE WARY - BE SAFE

I was going to say they sure did until 1967. Oh well.

Somebody Photoshopped this (Marty?). I saved the image and when I went to file it, I found Marty's original post, complete with sand tower, chimney, and a phone pole.

Wonder if this is where Tyco got its caboose design?
