There is a caboose on the rear of 215. Spotty didn't get the number, we were busy trying to finish up our tasks at the car inspector'S house.

As I noted in the shots, I am wondering if its the one the CRF just finished. Looks like it is 0306 from the video.

They then put the caboose on the next track over and have now parked the train on the main for tomorrow.

Sharon, in regards about the caboose that was worked on at the Antonito CRF, it was actually the 0503. the 0503 was then brought to Chama & recived a new coat of paint, along with lettering/numbering. the 0579 was also worked on at the Antonito CRF.
