| BNSF 12216 Riding Platform Caboose under brilliant sun holding down the passing lane while the string is switched out on a nearby siding. Too bad BNSF is privately held... otherwise, grabbing a share of stock just to be able to put a measure on the next annual meeting: "... moves that all boarded over windows on previous cabeese (sic) shall be painted to appear live action with appropriate historical figures in the cupola waving jauntily to the casual observer. Remaining boarded windows to be painted as if window when viewed from the side." Ok, maybe Im the only one that thinks thatd look cool and be worth the trouble. (Cost? Of the wood - drop off a stack of the windows at the local high school art department with pictures of the caboose when it used to have meaning/action in railroads hay days... if you want color-matched paint, include a couple buckets. Eh, so Im a dreamer. Someone out there has to think of ideas.) |
