Date: 02/24/21 11:24 Re: BB127: 2 Joe's for a short train Author: fbe Wouldn't be a full train without a caboose. There must be a story here.
Mayhaps cars 13 and higher are parked in the dirt east of the photo. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/24/21 11:50 by fbe. Date: 02/24/21 11:47 Re: BB127: 2 Joe's for a short train Author: SP8595 Great BB shot! Looks like caboose on rear?

Bob Date: 02/24/21 12:45 Re: BB127: 2 Joe's for a short train Author: 3rdswitch Great shot. Or perhaps it has a bay window caboose that is not easily visible?
JB Date: 02/24/21 13:12 Re: BB127: 2 Joe's for a short train Author: rob_l Tonnage on dead freights varied considerably by day of week but the power didn't. When this train gets to Silver Bow, it will drop that UP box car but it may well pick up about 40 cars off the UP interchange.

The current view shows that Bruce was taking pictures from I-15 or whatever the previous highway was labeled. Silver Bow Creek looks considerably healthier in the modern day view as compared to the earlier version. Click on "current view" to see what it looks like today.
