GN X310/BN 11444: http://rrpicturearchives.net/rsPicture.aspx?id=328615 Roger - I think these are better described as "streamlined cupola" cabooses. There were a number of railroads that used them, both center cupola and, like GN X310, offset cupola. Les |

How James J. Hill had a vision to get the railways all the way up to St. Cloud and then all the way to Seattle, Wash. up to Vancouver and he got it up there in 1983. I never knew James J. Hill completed the GN a scant 25 years ago at the grand old age of 135 years-old. Quite a feat if I must say so myself. The more you know...... |
