I've been involved in a couple conversations in the last decade and a half or so in which people have stated the A&K had two
former McCloud cabooses in their Emeryville yard at one time, but I had always somewhat dicounted this because all descriptions of the second car indicated it to be a former SP caboose and until recently
I had not seen any indications that the #021 had ever left far northern California. I'd known about the above report of the lumber yard buying a former McCloud caboose, but had always figured it had to
be the #023, though I had yet to see any indications of how it got to A&K. Within the last couple weeks I learned of a pair of photos posted to the California State Railroad Museum library database
website the clearly show the two cars in the A&K yard at that point to have been the #021 and #023. Please drop me a line if you have any more photos of the #021 in the Emeryville yard, or know when
it moved from there back north to Anderson. Picture of #021 and #023 together Close up of #021 |
