My SWitch Keys. - Caboose, CRI&P, CGW, C&NW, IC, M&StL
I have to tell you a funny story about Number 2 out CedarLake yard. I was braking on it the first run it made. It was going to be a hot shot between CedarLake & Peoria. 2&1 They had movie cameras and news media all over. At 4:30 P.M I gave a high ball .We never went 50 ft. and the caboose jumped the track. We were on the ground with all the cameras rolling. Talk about embarrassing moments for the M&STL. Every one in the yard clapping as we bumped down the ties in Caboose. I pulled the air, we got frogs and put caboose back on. We never did find out why caboose jumped the track. Your site brought back many memories . Thank You.
