Nice shots! The first one brings back memories, since the location of the caboose is about five cars east of where I first climbed aboard an SP caboose for pay close to 50 years ago.

Thanks for posting.

First one is the West Peddler with Guadalupe reefers and hot tar tank cars. Second Is the East Peddler with Callender coke
