Dying Van - a photo on Flickriver

Dying Van

            NBSR Train 506-16 heads back to McAdam after interchanging with EMR 505 at Calais, ME and working industries around Saint Stephen, NB in addition to dumping some ballast and fill for the MOW departments ongoing culvert replacement project.

This would be the last time I saw caboose 422990 before it was replaced by a new shoving platform (a container welded to a flatcar). This caboose was typically used on the OCS and passenger excursions, however after the caboose which had been used on this job since the CP Rail days (434919) was vandalized, it was sent as a short term replacement. Unfortunately, it was decided the other caboose and the exCN  one (79635) NBSR used for runs into the port, were considered too far gone and were scrapped. 

Currently 422990 is sitting at McAdam with no real plans for the future. The van was originally owned by CP as van 424353, who eventually rebuilt it for use as a business car after transferring its lines east of Montreal to internal subsidiary Canadian Atlantic in the 90's.
