Nostalgia & History > Bangor and Aroostook BuggiesDate: 01/28/15 20:07 Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: MaineLines Most of the BAR's cabooses were home made and fairly unique.
   Date: 01/28/15 20:09 Re: Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: MaineLines Some even were painted in the tri-color scheme of the 1970s and 1980s.

Date: 01/28/15 20:17 Re: Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: MaineLines I have already posted much of my MEC stuff. I think you can find them with a search.
Date: 01/28/15 20:22 Re: Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: Rathole I think those are the first BAR caboose photos I've ever seen. Thanks for a look at some of the more unusual cabs I've ever seen.

Marty Bernard Date: 01/28/15 23:35 Re: Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: ATSF100WEST The Allied Cushion Trucks are a dead giveaway, besides the plated over window openings, that the cars in images 1 and 5 are ex-Troop Car variants. The car in image 4 looks I.C.-ish.

Were those leftovers from the original troop cars?
Date: 01/29/15 14:39 Re: Bangor and Aroostook Buggies Author: MaineLines I think that they are vents that were original equipment on the troop sleepers. That overhead shot was taken from the coaling tower turned yard tower shown in the second shot.
