Considered one of the fastest freight trains, a Santa Fe "Super C" makes its run thru the Arizona Wilderness somewhere west of Flagstaff on a late summer afternoon in the late 60's. Bringing up the rear is a Santa Fe CE-1 class caboose. Route: Arizona Divide Locomotive: N/A
A pair of Pennsy Centipedes in helper service shove a freight up the eastern slope of Horseshoe Curve on an nice fall morning sometime in the 50's. The caboose on the rear of this train is a N8 Cabin Car, which the Pennsylvania Railroad built 200 examples of it in the early 50's. Route: Horseshoe Curve Locomotive: Baldwin DR-12-8-1500/2 ‘Centipede’

bit difficult on freight trains to use a cab car. In fact in Steam days a special van was used usually situated behind the engine in front of the train. German railways were fully braked from the late 1920s and the Zugfuhrer ( man in charge of the train) was more of a Conductor than guard. Late in Steam days some engines had “dog houses” built onto the tender for this man and in modern traction days he rides in the rear cab. Which is why there are no screenshots entered of German “cabooses” or brake vans.
Let's keep this thread on track (i.e. submissions for the competition), and admire the great screenshots.
I was merely explaining why there are no screenshots of German brake vans or cabooses entered. I believe that to be on track.
Two Denver and Rio Grande Western trains pass each other at summit. Locomotive: EMD GP9 (D&RGW from soldier summit.) Route: Soldier Summit Helper-Salt Lake City
