Short line industrial branch line using a red caboose complete with cupola! Indiana & Ohio Railway switching customers in Mason, Ohio using a caboose for a unique exempt railroad crossing. The unusual railroad crossing is explained in my previous video and This Is The Rest Of The Story! • Strangest Railroad Cro... First I catch the train heading towards a few customers at the end of the branch that needed switched. The caboose was cut off after the last crossing while the crew did the switching. When the train returned, the caboose was leading until they got to a siding in downtown Mason, Ohio. Here we see the caboose set off on the siding and the locomotive runs around the train to continue with the locomotive leading. This run was the last revenue freight run for the caboose. It was shipped to Lebanon, Ohio for its new private owner. I will update this video with info on the future use of the caboose when I learn it. The branch line in this video use to continue on into Cincinnati but years ago a few miles were removed and it is now 2 separate branches owned by I&O. In the 90s there was an effort to reinstall the track. I went to the public hearings and the public outrage was over whelming. In the end the railroad lost and the tracks will never be reinstalled. Homeowners complained that their new homes were built next to an unknown right of way and school buses would be in danger at the numerous crossings. Also, check out how old some of the sections of rail are. It is lighter stick rail dated 1898 in some areas! See the close ups in the video. Trains use 161.385 and sometimes 161.220 and 161.430.
