Nostalgia & History > CCP Caboose

A couple of days ago, Marty Bernard posted some shots of CCP power which included a caboose,
which he didn't shoot.  Here is that caboose in Cedar Rapids, IA, Circ: 1987/88.  This is a former
GM&O car and was the only one to get this all red paint scheme.  I always thought it very sharp,
but this was the only time I ever saw it.  The other cabooses CC painted, all ex-IC cars, were black
with yellow ends.  Of course, the caboose eventually went away, but by this time, we shot them
every time we saw one.
