Caboose over Gauntlet

Caboose over Gauntlet, Early Spring

Here are some 35mm scans. I did not have my digital camera with me,but I did have an old 35mm point and shot in my glove box. I know that is not the best place to keep a camera, but who cares, it was an old one I got at a flea market.

It was getting dark and before I could get my camera out, it passed the open, so these are not the best shots. But how many times do you see a caboose these days ?

Anytime you see a caboose in these times, it is a rare event.
