- Let me correct my brother's posting. They are not CSX safety cabooses
- they are Chessie cabooses with the safety logo on the side. They are the
- bay window type that Chessie ordered from FGE in 1980. There are also some
- sitting on a scrap line in the Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids.
- We have had a CSX Safety caboose though in the Michigan area. Once a weed-
- sprayer train came through and had one on it...
