The last post for now regarding the CN international caboose is a group of photos I took around my area. Some of the photos were taken while I was at work. On occasion I did take a camera to work...guess I should have done it more often now that I look back. Peter Mumby passes along a few facts he found regarding the yellow cupola CN cabooses...George Dutka
" According to the
1986 Trackside Guide, these cabooses were built 1970-74 as 79xxx cars, and
modified for international service in 1982-83. Some of your photos 78102 (ex-79447), 78107(79367), 78122(79474), and
78126(79554). Higher numbers must have come at a later date. They were not
listed in this particular Guide."

| CN 78134, international service caboose is seen at the (top end) of the yard in London, Ont., track CL11 the shop track. I am sure I took this photo off the yard engine I was working on June 10, 1992. |

| CN train 381, Goreway, Ontario, March 8, 1991. I would have been the conductor on this train that day. We are probably stopped for a meet with a train passing Malport. |
Broken Knuckle Video has DVDs showing these vans very common on the CV and GT in the 1980s and 90s.
