Chessie Caboose  Contributor's Pick!       
When CSX turned over operations in Ludington to Marquette rail, they left this C&O/Chessie caboose behind due a slightly cracked frame. Marquette kept using it for a while, but I guess a problem came up, so they parked it on a side track in the Ludington yard. UPDATE: In December of 2006, this caboose was painted into Marquette colors and has become MQT 3158.

Jonathon Leese General It's not MQT 3158 in that photo, Gregg, it's still C&O. You're always yelling at me for crap like that....... 5/11/2007 10:47:08 AM
