Caboose Ride Ex-Southern Pacific Bay Window C50-9 Class Pt 2

If you wanted to know what it is like to ride in a caboose, very few in use in this day in age I might add, here's a taste for you. The locomotives are EMD GP9E's, of former Southern Pacific Heritage as well, operating in work train and extra movements on Caltrain, San Francisco to San Jose, CA.

Hey Frank. It's Aaron from back in the day. Long time no talk. You still have those SF Southern Pacific freight train videos way back? Would like to see that old footage since SP is all gone now.

At the time I was a trainman, working the brakeman job on a work train rehabing the Caltrain line, I later became an engineer.
