INRD Caboose #1986 - Indiana Rail Road
Title:  INRD Caboose #1986 - Indiana Rail Road
Description:  As a Hoosier, it's always a nice feeling to post an Indiana related photo like this one. An unknown photographer caught this Indiana Rail Road remoter controlled caboose (shoving platform now) in a Bloomington, IN, yard. As a Puirdue grad, the only thing I wish were different would be if the photo were taken in Lafayette, rather than Bloomington! does anyone know what the origins of this caboose are? Is it an IC/ICG origin?
