Konstantin Member # 18	posted I have seen model Amtrak cabooses, but I have never seen a real one. Does Amtrak really have cabooses, and if so, what do they use them for? Thank you Dean ------------------ Elias Valley Railroad (N-scale) www.geocities.com/evrr
MikeKimura Member # 361	posted Yes, Amtrak has cabooses. I believe they are used mostly in the NEC for maintenance of way work. Photos of Amtrak cabooses at: < a href=http://lib2.clark.cc.oh.us/amtrak/amtCAB.html>http://lib2.clark.cc.oh.us/amtrak/amtCAB.html

The Amtrak Caboose photos are at: http://lib2.clark.cc.oh.us/amtrak/amtCAB.html Most of them look like modern-day transfer cabooses ... in fact, what they really look like is a smooth size 26 foot container on a 40' flatcar frame. Note the Bettendorf style trucks. Don't see those often anymore. John
