BNSF International Caboose?

Hi,

Steel, wide vision cupola, BN 12580 caboose is painted in the safety caboose scheme, including the BNSF herald, with one side in French.

I assume this means it runs partly or entirely in Canada. Does anyone know the location &/or current status of this car?

Thanks, Roger

Sounds interesting.... any pics?

Howdy,

BN 12580 BNSF Operatioin Lifesaver caboose is working in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Hi James,

Mike means that it isn't in the BNSF database.

However, I have a printout of the cabooses in that database on 7 Jan.'01 that includes at least 6 cabooses that were on display at museums and in parks before that date.

And, there *are* a few other cabooses that are on BNSF property, in use or stored, that are not in the database.

This is true of all large railroads.

Cheers, Roger

Oh for sure. But, thats the number that I saw on Railpictures.net. Thought I'd post it.
