That actually looks to me like a plow they are digging out rather than a caboose. And wow, that lokie is buried good!

You're right... The end you can see doesn't look "caboose-ish". :?: That's what the caption says, but expect you are right based on the following info:

#55231 is/was a wedge plow <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cnlines.ca/CNcyclopedia/misc/img_55231.jpg">http://cnlines.ca/CNcyclopedia/misc/img_55231.jpg</a><!-- m -->.

Of course, this all begs the question, "when the plow is stuck..."

Famous picture from the Blizzard of 1888.
Central New England, actually the Connecticut and North Western at that time, loco plowing through a snow drift outside Norfolk, Connecticut.

Actually this is a copy of this picture I bought at the Springfield Show some years back.
