    Found this one in Randle, Wa today. Possibly one of the Chehalis Western, ex-Southern Pacific steel cabooses that the CWRR used for they're log trains. Anyone have a definitive yes? IMG_1259.JPG IMG_1262.JPG IMG_1264.JPG IMG_1260.JPG IMG_1263.JPG

    Check out the ribbed wheelsets... The lack of steps makes a bit harder to violate the "no trespassing" sign in the B-end window, too.

    Dang you have good eyes. I had to zoom in and manipulate the exposure to see them. Probably an SP C-40-1 class caboose.

    Hey! I found a pic of it from a few years back, off of Google. Definetly looks like former Chehalis Western paint!(y);) 122517430.jpg

    I wandered around that one a couple years ago as well, my parents live in Packwood, about 20 miles from there. Funny - I saw from the road what I took to be a "For Sale" sign - got close enough down there to realize it was a NOT For Sale sign. :)
