Burning Cabooses
Back when I had first moved here and rekindled my interest in trains, I saw a picture of cabooses being burned in Kentville yard. I was told at the time it was for training for the fire department and to just leave the metal shell. Has anyone seen those pictures?

Re: Burning Cabooses
Yes, I remember the story. One caboose, two plows and a boxcar were the last rail cars in Kentville. Scroll about halfway down for photos of equipment before the fire: http://www.dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?tit ... f10085.JPG
Don Foster has photos. Ric, you live a lot closer to Don, so if you can scan them and upload, I'd appreciate it.

A lot closer is an understatement. I can see his house from mu upstairs windows.
