Perhaps railfans can keep us posted on the move (with photos?). Victor B. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/27/22 20:08 by wabash2800.   Date: 06/27/22 20:21 Re: Unique Auto-Train Caboose to Move from California to Georgia Author: Gonut1 I'm extremely impressed that this abomination is still extant. I have only ever seen one other photo of it. I figured this "caboose" was reduced to scrap steel decades ago. The history of this "thing" must be so very convoluted!

I wonder if any others of the CN long enclosed auto racks have survived? I think some of the short ones might exist in m of w service up north. Pretty sure A-T bought all the long ones.
