Here's some more east bound trains coming from the Sharman Hill area into the yard at Cheyenne, Wy. We also have a crew change.

Cabooses are not used any more they are probably on their way to a museum or private owner. The train crew has been reduced and one from the caboose is now up front.

Yup. Usually a train crew consisted of three people. The engineer, conductor & break man. Mose railroads these days have a two man crew being the breakman/ conductor & engineer. One of the main reasions the caboose isn't used these days is because of this.

3 caboose ?

Good question. I thought the same and have as many answers as you do.

LOL "paddywagons" that's lingo from the 30's. :)

This was shot in the mid '80s, so the caboose wasn't abolished yet, but it was on teh way out!

I remember these yards and cold nights working with almost frozen fingers; working with Francis MacCormick, Jim Nace and others on the 8444 and 3985 as well as cutting pinion gears along the road bed between Cheyenne and Laramie. Great work for a Latina with a bachelors in English literature and masters in library science!

Check out the green cars, they're ballast hoppers, from the Maintenance of Way Department. My guess is that the cabooses are MOW also.
