: Lamy, NM. Sep. 13, 2015

This ex-D&RGW riveted steel end cupola caboose is found at Santa Fe Southern Railway(SFS) yard at Lamy, New Mexico. This caboose used to tuck into a beer distributor’s spur on SFS at Santa Fe along with another Rio Grande caboose and an ATSF boxcar, until 2014.

This car, former DRGW #01444 has been heavily graffiti but still keeps Rio Grande paint and letterings.　But, according to Ozark Mountain Railcar web site, it completely lost its original interior furnishings.

D&RGW #01444 was built in 1945 by railroad’s Burnham Shops in Denver, CO. It was originally painted black with yellow pinstripes. It became SFS #01 in the ’90s.

この鋼製カブースはニューメキシコ州のLamyという村で見つけた。ここLamyとSanta Feを結ぶATSFの支線を譲り受け開業したSanta Fe Southernという鉄道の#01である。かろうじて遺されたロゴから明らかなように、元は1945年製のD&RGW#01444である。現在はSFSの休止にともないネット上で売りに出されている。そのウェブページによると、オリジナルの内装は完全に失われている。ちなみにお値段は$11000。
