985801 Grand Trunk Western #77050; 985802 Grand Trunk Western #77005.
Grand Trunk Western used wood sided cabooses from the
inception of the line until the 1970s. GTW connected Chicago with Detroit and Port Huron, Michigan plus branches. Both the GTW and
the Central Vermont were parts of the sprawling Canadian National family which explains the general similarity in paint schemes. But
take note, the maple leaves of each railroad are different!
985803 Central Vermont #4014; 985804 Central Vermont #4004.
Central Vermont's wooden caboose fleet remained largely intact until
1972 when they were suddenly replaced by modern steel wide vision cabooses. CV was a north-south railroad connecting the coast of
Connecticutt at New London with the Canadian border, serving five states and the province of Quebec in the process.
These special release ready to run wood side, truss rod cabooses are built by Bluford Shops from Athearn parts. Each road name is
available in two road numbers. These are shipping to dealers during the week of October 5. MSRP: $24.95 ea.
93303 Southern #X252; 93304 Southern #X251.
Southern inherited a group of steel cupola cabooses from Savannah & Atlanta. They were
often seen far from their east Georgia birthplace and lasted nearly to the end of caboose operations.
93305 Boston & Maine #414; 93306 Boston & Maine #401. The Patrick McGinnis administration implemented this paint scheme shortly
after coming to B&M from New Haven where he introduced a very similar scheme just before.
