CONRAIL BLUE!!!  Sweet!!

[TehRampageKiiLL]

Great video, but scan around a little. I don't like staring at the same spot all the time.

[wildfire19861987]

They call them "shoving platforms" now, but to me they will always be cabooses. This one is in great shape. I caught a rail train that had a BN one on it, and the doors were plated over with steel :/ . It was graffitti covered on one side, but someone took spray cans and repainted the BN logo on.

The yard switcher in Emporia, KS uses one (Ce-8 # 999715) as a platform. It's in decent shape too.

Is BNSF 2199 and 2115 are GP38-2's, SD40'S or SD40-2's?

[FK347]

Nice!

[livestockdana]

wow a Santa Fe caboose, never seen that.

[rockbandfreak31]

damn nice catch love the lashup on the bnsf

[Retrainmytrain]

thats so awesome, its rare to see a meet where they all come at the same time!

[EverywhereWest]

Wow, not many places can you get a three train meet! That caboose was awesome, seems right at home! Last time I saw a caboose on a BNSF freight was March 2007 on the Bayard Subdivision in Manning, IA. I think they used it because the train backs up for a ways on that branch. Anyway, great catch!

[GhostFearMe]

awesome vid..awesome catch with the Conrail ona BNSF train!!!

[rockisland57]

They are shoving platforms and yes they are gutted inside. That local does a lot of long back up moves out by Joliet and LPC.

[Lightwolf333]

Awesome video and grate catch on that Conrail unit as well.

[marion7200]

They are used for backing up over crossings. I have been told they don't call them cabooses for that use. They have some new name for them. Most of the ones in use have been gutted inside.

[OhioRails]

sweet

[Kleman09]

I remeber as a toddler trains on the Chessie System had cabooses on all trains. They ran cabooses untill 1993. That same year all Chessie system locos became CSX official. i know this through experience and research.

[DIVRITE]

nice thats better than a steak dinner!!!

[colinroxanduknowit]

In Lincoln,NE (where I live) theres a couple trains with a few cars that go through that always have a caboose, as someone mentioned, they are used for when theres backing up sometimes.

[skinnyshit8888]

Isn't the heritage corridor CN?

[trainboy32]

awesome video

[trainboy94]

SWEET!!!!!!!! CONRAIL POWER!!!!!!!

[Trainbrain1949]

That caboose may be needed where there is a lot of backup movements.

"I thought Caboose's (!?) were a thing of the past in American railroading. Very interesting video."

Cabooses are a thing of the past in the

US but there are still a very few of them

around sometimes used as a field office

for a work train etc. but not used for their

original purpose. This one did not look

like a work train but it could have been

being transported somewhere for that

purpose.

[trainguy91]

Takes me back to my childhood when I saw cabooses on every freight train I see. 5 stars

[trainiac3]

where did all the people at the station go during thr trains

[applecounty]

I thought Caboose's (!?) were a thing of the past in American railroading. Very interesting video.
