Eddie K's new ICG side door caboose on it's first run.



I photographed this digital live sound video, at The Oak Park Society of Model Engineers, H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

I had just purchased this orange Centrailia Car Shops H.O Scale model of a 1970's era Illinois Central Gulf Railroad side door caboose. My caboose was making it's debut on the model railroad club layout that night.

This train, reminds Me of the Illinois Central Gulf trains I grew up with on the near southwest side of Chicago, just after the August 10th 1972 merger of the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio, and the Illinois Central railroads.
