For this Tuesday, here’s a shot of a Train Master on a caboose hop. This was based on a photo in a Morning Sun book, but photographed from the front end. As noticed in the original photo, the FM’s handrails are almost the same height as the caboose roof. Let’s see those tail end photos!

Nice caboose track, there, Patrick!
My contribution is a model of an odd ball combination car in T&P livery. Note the corrected color of the T&P engine and the oil tender.
Oops. Didn't capture my attachment.
The photographer caught this old N6 cabin coming into town and was amazed at how good it looked. Must have just been overhauled. He was kind of disappointed the conductor did not wave back.
MTH.

Here are a few. The Big Boy somehow snuck into the picture. I suppose it's okay since the BB commemorative caboose is just one shelf below.

Great tail ends, guys!
Artie, I hope you don't mind that I'm doing a similar photo, but I liked yours and remembered that I had this combination. This engine is a U33 Boat, Can anyone tell me why they are called boats ?

Doug, I like that U-boat and caboose. I just inadvertently started a new Tail End thread. Great photos, everyone!
Not 100% sure this counts, but what the heck.

I’m not sure either, Mitch, but I’d say it counts! (Not even sure what that is!).
