Its not uncommon for a merged road to combine its equipment, spreading it across the new system, and Guilford did this with all manner of power and rolling stock. But when they cut the D&H loose, they left some of it behind-though not the U23Bs-such as this Portland Terminal caboose in Oneonta. |

A familiar sight, CR N21 21286, rolls west on OIBU, making it look like a real freight train one day in a row. Cabooses were a novelty by this time, and it was always a surprise to see one on anything other than a local or special train. Note the ex NYSW RS 1 on the adjacent Tioga Central at right. |

Great view from up there |
| Description: |
Dont know if anyone is riding in the van, but if they are, their view is pretty good. My view is a little crooked, as this was a grab shot. I had gotten the head end of local D 22 here, and was not expecting it to have a caboose. This van was working locals and mostly work trains in the Binghamton area that fall. |

One of two |
| Description: |
Two roads crossed here at Brinkley. One, whose caboose is displayed on the station grounds, was the Cotton Belt, and SP subsidiary. Interestingly, this car is on the Rock Island right of way, the other participant at this point. Cotton Belt had rights on the Rock from Memhis to this point, where it gained its own line to reach Pine Bluff and Texas. The Rock continued west to Little Rock and eventually Amarillo and Tucumcari. A Rock car here would be a nice nod to the heritage. |

UP car on the Rock |
| Description: |
For some reason, a number of town on the ex Rock Island Choctaw Route got cabooses to display, though they seem to be non Rock Island cars for the most part. This UP car is at Hazen, which also has an intact station. |
