Freight wagon sounds more like one of the freight cars as we call them. The caboose used to be the last car on the train to provide a place for the train crew and to be readily available at the end of the train for coupling new cars. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-21967339052427299582011-09-15T10:51:49.549-07:002011-09-15T10:51:49.549-07:00Lovely, I can picture what a great place to live i...Lovely, I can picture what a great place to live it would be. Rail ... that is the way to travel, a lot more natural than that flying lark! Never heard it called a caboose before - freight wagon over here, caboose is a lot more romantic sounding xxFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-54282397299035668222011-09-15T09:19:48.185-07:002011-09-15T09:19:48.185-07:00Kay - Seems like we have even more in common.

Might be a bit difficult to get it up to your place though.<br /><br />Paul - I guess there were quite a few logging railroads back in the heydey. Now even the old railbeds have disappeared into the bush.<br /><br />MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-42394209084503698152011-09-15T08:28:35.723-07:002011-09-15T08:28:35.723-07:00Interesting.... if we had trains up here I'd p...Interesting.... if we had trains up here I'd post train pictures also, along with the planes!Paul in Powell Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539247800330943502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-84057489150167112972011-09-15T08:05:16.720-07:002011-09-15T08:05:16.720-07:00Oh, Margy, you can't imagine how many times I&...Oh, Margy, you can't imagine how many times I've thought I'd love to convert a caboose into a home! It was a dream of mine for years.<br />I once saw a caboose with a "For Sale" sign on it, but when we stopped to look at it, a man came across a field and yelled threateningly for us to go away. Maybe he really didn't want to sell it?<br />That was the closest I got. Not quite as close as I almost got to buying a tugboat to make into a live-aboard. LOL<br />Thanks for the story about 10792. The Burlington-Northern was part of my life for a long time.<br />— K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
