This Missouri Pacific Caboose was formerly owned by Joe Falvey of Poplar Bluff, MO. In 2001 he sold it to Bob Herbert of Rockview, MD. It was moved up here that summer and fall and sits right next to the Capitol Limited's Route along the CSX Tracks where I shot it at 4:38 P.M. I remember playing on this caboose at Joe's house when I was little since it was in his front yard. Joe was the Road Foreman of Engines in Poplar Bluff for the MP/UP from 1968-1991 when he retired with 42 years of service.
