Does anyone know the story of this very unusual transfer caboose? It is entirely different from the other Frisco Transfer cabooses. http://frisco.org/mainline/2015/02/22/transfer-caboose-150/
Appears to be more of a jail. Be interesting to know the built date, may have been so that no one would want to use it. They pulled out all the stops to rid the railroad of cabooses.
Looks like it was built on a standard wood caboose frame and sill. The conductor and rear brakeman are going to get to know each other really well in that thing. It does look pretty neat though.
I agree with Jim, the transfer caboose would make a great scratch built model. Need one for my layout. Seems like a easy project to do. Joe
Maybe a rolling outhouse! Agree, they did a nice job on it and it looks like a great modeling project. K
Good thought, Ken, could be nothing but a crapper inside. Sometimes the transfer job would be a 12 hour plus job.
