When I was a boy, the Family Lines had just organized. Everyday I watched the colorful mix of acquired locos pulling every type of freight car that would roll. My favorites were the Chessie System GPs and SDs. I don’t know why seeing the caboose was always so exciting. Most of those colors were eventually replaced with the blue and gray of CSX. I’ve noticed colorful locomotives coming back. I often see UP, CN, and many small RR locos pulling along with CSX. I still see GPs and SDs together.I often see the big GE locos too, but I sure miss the caboose. That flashing light at the end just isn’t he same. 

I agree about the caboose. They should re-institute the caboose on all freight trains for us Forum members because we are doing so much to promote real and model railroading. Wouldn't it be fun to drink coffee with our fellow Forum members and see beautiful scenery passing by while riding in a caboose during freight train runs? Arnold
