A wooden steam era caboose from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad brings up the rear of an H.O Scale freight train.

 

 

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

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

 

Fellow club member Tom, was operating his vintage freight train

from the former Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, as they

were back in much better times. The Rock Island is still a local -

Chicago area railfan favorite in the windy city today.
