A 1970's era Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad caboose hop in H.O Scale.

 

 

I took this photograph last night, at the Oak Park Society of Model

Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.

 

A common everyday sight I once enjoyed when I was growing

up on the southwest side of Chicago, were the many freight trains

and occasional "Caboose Hop" extra movements operating out of

the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad's Corwith Yard.

 

My Athearn Santa Fe EMD CF 7 early round cab rebuilt diesel

roadswitcher locomotive, pulls my recently acquired Santa Fe

1970's and 80's era Athearn wide vision caboose past a tower on

the club layout. A scene I fondly remember from my own youth.

 

Thanks.
