In summer 2018, I paid a visit to West Barnstable, Massachusetts where there were several antique railcars on display. The photos I made of a decayed former Delaware & Hudson caboose garnered interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See: http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/2018\/07\/23\/nature-and-the-old-caboose\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Kris and I revisited West Barnstable. It was raining and dark. I made a few photos of the station, Mass-Coastal track and the old D&H caboose. It’s condition hasn’t improved over the last four and half years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wooden bodied relic of former times makes for a fascinating study in decay that seems symbolic of the fading status of the D&H itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I featured this style of D&H caboose in a book on cabooses that I authored with John Gruber in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
