Viewing Album:  BO Caboose Still at Work!
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:4/9/2012 - 4/9/2012
Album Info:Coming around the CSX bend at Dolton, IL, is the still hardworking former Baltimore & Ohio RR caboose 904083 on its weekly local turn. Of course, now it's used as just a shoving platform. I have photographed it before several times but it's still a thrill to see it running on the rails. Sure wish it would be restored to its clean Chessie colors again, or even better, its original Baltimore & Ohio blue!

Title:  BO 904083 - former Baltimore & Ohio RR (now CSX)
Description:  The Chessie cat is still very clear but the golden yellow has taken on a very orangy hue from the rust and road grime. Always thought the V-shaped window sure would have been a great support for an arm casually stuck out.
