| Many towns along rail lines made an effort to get cabooses as the railroads shed them in the early and mid 80s. In many cases, the rail lines donated them, getting a tax write off. Quite a few of them became local information centers, or just ornaments near an old station or station site. Some, like this one at Acworth, GA, got painted in a show of civic pride. It looks like this one was a Santa Fe car in its working life. |
