    Even though they are listed as Work Service cars, I still consider them a caboose. Here is #420984 on the tail end of work train WHA-12 on 2005/07/12 at Desjardins (Hamilton sub).

    Why would the caboose be used on that train, is there a back-up move which requires it?

    Good to see a caboose in use, though [​IMG]

    Yes, I have to ask, why white???? Wouldn't that get lost in the snow? :eek: :confused:

    Harold,

    Up here in Canada, we only have snow 9 months of the year, so the caboose is visible at all other times... ;)

    I am not sure why they chose white - CPR cabooses were tuscan red, then yellow in the "multimark" days. Maybe white to go with the engineering theme - engineers always wear the white hard hats at the job site...?
