Caboose 1233

Caboose 1233 at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (date unknown). The F.M. unit is unidentified.

The photo was shot looking northeast from the South Lincoln Boulevard overpass. This is the west end of the Frisco’s East Yard. To the left of the diesel shop one can see the North Canadian River. The Frisco crosses the river just to the west of the Lincoln Boulevard overpass.

There are lots of neat details in this view including the locomotive shop, engine service tracks area (including two Union Pacific locomotives, at least one a GP30), repair-in-place (RIP) tracks, two H-10-44 locomotives, two cabooses, multiple (at least eight) company service diesel fuel yellow dome tank cars, etc.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

Caboose 1284

Caboose 1284 Springfield, Missouri in October 1979.

This photograph was taken at the Frisco’s North Yard. The view is looking northeast from the North Jefferson Avenue Footbridge. In the lower left one can see the shadow of the south tower and the curving arch from the south stairs.

The footbridge was constructed in 1902 and is 562 feet long. It was originally constructed to permit access between the Commercial Street Business District (south end) and the residential neighborhood to the north.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
