The more modern cabooses took advantage of the turning of the wheels to turn a generator to charge the batteries for power. I don't know if the generator still works, but the equipment to power it on the outside is still in place. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Some have speculated that the P-Burg local (running west out of P-Burg) will use the caboose for its moves. Reportedly, the interior of the caboose has been revamped, although the emergency brake valve has been removed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The caboose was on the back of the MNYPH-18, tied down on the Arvada Siding a few miles west of North Yard. The caboose is going to Phippsburg, the exact reason is not known.

The second crew was for a westbound tied down in the siding at Plain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This siding, not controlled by CTC other than the power locks, is primarily used for coal interchange with BNSF for the Beer Train. The Beer Train will take the coal off the siding on its way out to Golden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I decided to use my polerizing filter (which I seldom use but should use more) to really bring out the blue in the sky. The contrast with the yellow leaves (and yellow AC's!) is great as this coal load is coming up on Carr Street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
