This train is inbound at Pullman Junction on the C&WI, probably on its way to the BRC's Clearing Yard.

Attached is a PDF of a couple of articles from "The Hoosier Line" about the three transfer cabooses.  The drawing has "steel grating" on the platforms.  Steel grating reminds me of the surface on the auto lanes of the K&I bridge.  Were these transfer caboose platforms really a grate?
