E. Brainerd caboose

No sir, that caboose was bought by Randall Magnuson and trucked to Lafayette. The wood sheathing was so rotten that he couldn¡¯t save it. He did retain the trucks and hardware. This was when he was a

I'm assuming it was one of these that sat on the siding at Menlo and used for storage before the MOW building was built in the 60's? Always full of wasps nest so we kids wouldn't climb into

Warren,
Attached are various photos of those cabooses. The article is from a 1925 Car & Locomotive Cyclopedia. No. 318 is the only one that I¡¯m aware of to be repainted into a full L&N scheme.

That is an interesting photo. This is most definitely Alton Park (South Chattanooga) where TAG had their yard, shop and dispatchers and later their freight depot. The screen door is a nice touch. I

This must be the caboose that was parked on display behind the Happy Valley Elementary School in Rossville, Georgia back in the 80's-early 90's. Long since scrapped, alas. Great slide.

Re: Chattanooga Paint Shop
Yes the facility is there and the original GE (or was it EMD) Heritage units were painted there.? With increasing EPA compliance costs it made sense to consolidate all of the painting in one place

Chattanooga Paint Shop
Do they not have the old Southern Railway Chattanooga paint shop at Citico/DeButts any more? The original four TAG diesels were repainted there. When TAG purchased the 80, they contracted with

Re: Norfolk Southern TAG Heritage Unit Rockwood and Chattanooga Arrival
Well I doubt I would make it to Valley Head or Trenton in time if I left Metro Atlanta after my shift. I get off here at the Atlanta airport at 24:45 eastern. And a nighttime encounter would not be

Well I found another YouTube post where railfans were wandering around it at TVRM and it was parked adjacent to TAG 80. Looks like the modern railroad fans knew all about it but they forgot to tell

Norfolk Southern TAG Heritage Unit Rockwood and Chattanooga Arrival
Supposedly she - the TAG Heritage Unit- has arrived in Chattanooga for an NS event. Does anyone know what is going on? In this footage she is seen coming down the CNOT&P and over Tenn-Bridge.
