I got one of these today. Usual excellent Tangent quality. I don’t know how many they produced, but I recombed the model. Jerry Michels

This car actually showed up in Monroe, Louisiana around 1980 and I assumed it was a C&EI car that was wandering far south of its normal haunts. Then I saw the A&S logo.

Naturally it was at dusk in a rainstorm, and I had no camera and even think I was on a date and didn’t want to appear too geekish.

I’m sure someone had some explaining to do in Alexandria or N’walins or Houston. Another time we saw a Zito yellow C&NW caboose which probably made the crew demand extra pay for the indignity of using another railroad’s caboose.

On the other hand, modern MoPac caboose were common on the Southern in Birmingham and even Chattanooga in the late seventies

Can’t report any A&S cabeese ever coming to Wichita, but several A&S MP15s did, in the early 70s. They seemed to be treated as road power, in other words I never saw one actually switching. Since they had MU, they no doubt worked to Wichita and back.
