Cabooses have always been my favorite type of train car. I stumbled on this one yesterday while visiting a historic train depot in Ashland, NH. I get the sense that it is becoming a permenent fixture as part of the depot’s museum. Here are some of the details that I could capture.
Except for the wheels, it could be someone’s yellow house.
It could be. It would likely make a pretty nice house.
I’ve always been partial to cabooses myself! Your photos capture their appeal very well.
Thank you, Liz. I’d move to see inside.
And I’d second that motion!
I didn’t even know they were a thing!! Thanks for sharing!
They are awesome. They were the crew quarters”. Some even had little coal stoves in them.
Thank you, I learnt something new today!
My pleasure. Thank you for reading.
Great photos. I love trains! 😊
Oh, thank you. I have some more photos of the depot to share and a train – snowplow.
Awesomeness 😊🙏
a yellow caboose, ? .. grabs the attention…
It obviously grabbed mine. Thank you.
Amazing captures, I like the detailed photos very much!
Thank you so much, Greta. The caboose had some cool details.
So this is a caboose! I learn again with thanks to you😃
My pleasure. Have a great day, Garfield.
You too🤗🤗
I love the details you captured along with the full shot! That yellow is cheerful. The town I grew up in had railroad tracks that ran through it. I remember the caboose being red usually. But it wasn’t always present. It was rare to see a caboose at all. Cool to find one here. Thanks Chris! Have a great day!
Thank you, Sandra. I think of cabooses as red also. I think cabooses have gone into decline. I love it when I see one. You too. Enjoy your day.
And here I thought they were always red! This is a nice sunny find.
Thank you, Lois. I think they are predominately red but this was a cool find. Have a great day.
I thought they were always red? The chain shot is my fave 🙂
That seems to be the prevailing thought. I think most are red. I like the chain shot a lot also. 😊
Up North of here in the Coal Region area, there are a number of old Coal Train Cabooses that are on display. Left over from a era from long ago, when Coal was King.
Wow. I hope someone is preserving them.
They are!
Quite a cool caboose. I really like that you didn’t just go for the overall view, but captured all thise interesting details. Well done!
Thank you so much. The details were pretty interesting.
Amazing shots!
Thank you so much. 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Love the photo and the cool color of the caboose!
Oh thank you, Sandhya. How are you these days?
I always love a caboose… and this one is bright and cheery! Have an amazing day Chris!
Thank you, Nancy. You also.
gorgeous vibrant blue, beautiful details, Chris 🙂
Thank you so much. 😊
Striking colour! Love it! Trains, railways, stations – all so wonderful to take pictures of!😄
Sweet! Great photos!
Oh, thank you.
