Russel Chessie Heritage Caboose?
Author: ChessieRR

Back in an 06 trains magazine there was a photo of a Chessie Heritage Caboose in Russel. Just curious if anyone ever caught it, has photos of it, or can give an update to its current location.

Thanks!

Hi Adam:

Are you asking about the blue Chessie, yellow kitty, caboose that's been displayed at the depot/tower/park in Russell Ky, if so, saw it last weekend, it's doing just fine dressed in Christmas lights.

But what do I know?

Have Fun: Jeff

I think this one is still in actual use, last report on trainorders a few years ago the poster said it was on the Russell hump. I think that is different than the caboose at the old depot which I think has been there for a while.

Thanks!

There was a caboose on a display track next to the depot and RU Cabin in Russell,
but it definitely wouldn't be in use. I don't remember what paint it was in though,
I last saw it in 2001.

The Chessie Caboose that was pictured in trains,was a B&O unit that was repainted in Chessie with C&O reporting marks[A little heratage thing I would guess]It was being used as a shoving platform,and to my knowledge,is still in use
