Thanks for posting this photo,  any and all showing early cabooses are desired.  Unfortunately most are like this one, not much but a pool of shadow visible under the car.  There was some kind of nasty discrimination going on.  Every photographer wanted to take shots of the lordly locomotives, and the humble and faithful follower, the caboose, is usually somewhere way off the edge of the frame, or obscured and murky if seen at all.  Shame on them photographers!!

I have contacted the Ronfor collection to see if a better print of the 313 Blackhawk photo might be obtainable.  For now, that's our best hope, but everybody, please keep watching out for a new find!
