Here’s an early Monon work caboose in an unfortunate position. Roger Nulton

One of the cars that Frank built which used left over parts from the Kinsman passenger cars was more of a work caboose, I believe. Seems somebody did something similar with the old time AF car also. At the Wisconsin NASG, I purchased a box from the late Russ Mobley estate labeled 'drovers caboose'. Russ had called me sometime before his death and we discussed such a project. What I purchased ended up being just a bunch of weird parts, no plans and nowhere near a caboose. I would like one eventually, but I think most prototypes were individualized by each railroad if not one of the kind. I think I have a copy of the Beebe & Clegg book (don't recall which one) that featured many odd-ball cabooses used on mixed trains--many of them in the Southeastern states. I have many books on the upper Mid-western railroads that I model, but have found almost no references to drover's cabooses--although I confess I really haven't looked that hard either.
