GTW 77047         
Grand Trunk Western Railroad caboose 77047 at Valparaiso, Indiana on October 29, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The occasion was a steam powered fantrip with Dick Jensen's GTW 4-6-2 number 5629 as power. The drumhead reads: 'Railroad Club Of Chicago' (in the center) and 'Railfans Special' around the edge. While cleaning the scan of the slide, I noticed the left side of the cupola was occupied. It must have been quite a show from that vantage point.

Iver Tranes General I like the "open car," wonder how clen it was inside. Is that a wood sheathed caboose!?!? 12/3/2012 7:16:21 AM
Chuck Zeiler General I'm sure the inside of the gondola started the trip clean, I cannot speak to its condition after the trip. Yes, that is a wood sheathed caboose, and it appears to be fresh from the shops. 12/3/2012 10:46:44 AM
