I know what they looked like but not what thier purpose was. I have googled it to death including checking several glosseries on railroads. Please someone tell me what they "transfered"? Thanks! I didn't know where to post this.
Does this help? http://www.greenbayroute.com/101caboose.htm A transfer caboose was designed for short-haul trips; they usually featured a short car body and spacious end platforms to give the rear-end crew plenty of room to observe the train during transit. In this case, GBW #101 was being used on the back-up maneuver on the 2-mile Hope this helps all else fails go to "ask.com" :lightbulb:
Thank you! guys. That is just what I needed to know. I can see a couple of those on the GandG. Operations will be extensive point to point with little regard for engine location in place. These will be ideal and cool looking too..
