Re: [CBQ] Trailer on Flat Car - A Different Twist

["Bill Canelos via groups.io" <sharronbillc=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

Hi Tom, It is hazy in my mind where I heard and I may be totally wrong but some of them may have been used to man several unmanned depots on a scheduled basis, or to bring an agent to a valued customer on a temp basis. Bill

Anyone have a clue as to what the travel trailer on the flat car is doing on the caboose track????

 

Resurrecting this thread from 2019 due to an interesting eBay find: https://www.ebay.com/itm/147542689391 

 

Note the mobile home on the first car in the train. It is very similar in construction to the mobile home in my original post back in 2019. Attached is the eBay slide showing the mobile home on the flat car with the waycars. The waycars photo is from 1965. The latest is from 1966. Bill Hirt's reply to this thread shows mobile homes on trains in 1967. So seems these were not uncommon in the 1965-1967 era.

 

BTW, also nice to see the solid A-B-A F-unit set in 1966.
