Trains on this day in the past:
If you never rode in a caboose in the winter it was a thrill. It was cold for the most part unless you had a good wood fire in the stove. These cabins were oil fueled and did a good job above freezing but these guys are bundled pretty good to keep warm on this day in 1978. The temperature reached 24 degrees. Westbound at Summit Cut. The cupola was pretty warm in these and staying awake was a problem.
