What's Better Than A Caboose?
Author: Blackfoot

Two caboose's... or what ever the plural of caboose is.  Westbound at North Battleford SK, May, 1977.

Cheers,
Dwayne

Those always looked like the most awesome design out there. Were they as good as they looked?

Thanks for sharing.

I was lucky enough to be offered two rides on this same train when I was a teenager back in the late 70's, but both times I opted to sit up front in the GP9's, so I have no idea what these were like to ride in.  I will agree with you though, they did look mighty nice.

Cheers,
Dwayne

Well it's a plural, so whatever the plural is, there ain't no apostrophe in it.

Here in Upper Canada where the Queen's English is spoken, the plural is "vans". : )
