I'd never been to Aledo or Viola or anyplace across that area until may of last year, and being the Q is in my blood from my Grandfather working his entire life for the CB&Q, I had to have pictures of it.
I have no idea who or what Org bought the caboose, but i will find out maybe Monday when I visit the model railroad club layout and guys.
I may have found another piece of equipment of interest to some, an old wood box car I believe, that sits in a lot across the street from my place about 200 feet in the weeds where some old beat up junk cars are at on the west side of town near the bus barn, hoping to get some shots of that this week to, maybe tomorrow, but hoping it may be an old Q piece as well.
