Bobber caboose #245 was built in New Albany shops 1892....
I bet riding in a four wheel caboose was less than comfortable.... ;D

Probably be like riding a Fairmont speeder. Man those things ride rough, or at least the ones I have ridden in were.

Tom, you may want to note that the BL2 picture you last posted was a J. Parker Lamb photo.  / Ron

This is a test.   I have tried 5 times today to post to this board but no luck.  I hit post and nothing happens.

Evidently, the system didn't like the photo I was trying to post.   I will try to post a different photo this time.

Good photo Sharon. It posted just fine.

I like that one too Sharon.  Nothing prettier than a new red paint job.

Another of my favorites. Middle Salt Creek Bridge, Jim Craig photo. I use this one as desktop background.

This is another favorite of mine. Again, it features Monon, Indiana. I believe this one may have been taken by Sharon Eberhard.

Here's one of my favorites.  When I sent the slide back to Kodac to have a print made, they accidentally washed it out, and it came back looking like a watercolor.  / Ron

Ron,

Know the road number of this car?

George L.
Title: Re: Have a favorite Monon picture?
Post by: Ron Marquardt on February 25, 2012, 01:12:21 pm
No, I'm sorry George but I don't.  The number on the end looks like "something" 35, maybe an L, but it's not clear enough to read.  / Ron

Post by: Tom Kepshire on February 25, 2012, 01:25:31 pm
Ron, is this the same car?? X-58
Title: Re: Have a favorite Monon picture?
Post by: Ron Marquardt on February 25, 2012, 02:06:12 pm
Might be Tom, I don't know for sure.  They had dozens of those things running around, and they repaired and modified them so much through the years it's hard to tell.  / Ron

Post by: Ron Marquardt on August 09, 2012, 02:21:14 pm
Joe, that was taken in 1960, and the archives show it being from "Bob's Photo Collection", obviously a dealer.  I believe it's a Tom Smart photo, but I don't know that for sure.  Nice picture buddy.  / Ron
Title: Re: Have a favorite Monon picture?
Post by: Joe Land on August 09, 2012, 03:08:24 pm
That narrows the date down to late fall/winter of 1960.--- Slide was in the Blue Box that mysteriously showed up at WHQ. Only info on slide was "Salem".

My favorite, the semaphores north of Orleans.  I knew we'd arrived at my grandparents' home when we drove past them...

My favorite Monon picture FM #45 & BL 2 @ Paoli.  At the left edge of the picture you can see my grandparents house. My grandfather, Marion (Ike) F. Cunningham, was a Monon fireman and engineer.

I took this photo in Michigan City in the early 70s.

That looks like Earl Road, north of US 20 and just south of the PM crossing.
Title: Re: Have a favorite Monon picture?
Post by: Sharon Eberhard on August 11, 2012, 04:28:05 pm
My shot of the crossing sign is just a little older....I think I was about 17 when I took this.
