Non-Revenue Equipment

.	ATSF Caboose No. 999753. This cab is kept at Socorro, NM for use as a shoving platform when switching the Dicaperl Minerals spur. The car has been there for quite a while and is not protected in any way I could see. Obviously the local taggers find it an easy mark. Top: 3/4 view from the “lit” side (12/04/2006). Note the side ladder. Car built by International Car in the mid-1970s. Note that basically all windows are covered in sheet metal. Middle: From down-sun, we see the opposite end. The car is usually left on the tail of the wye, which is also the beginning of the spur track leading into town. Bottom: Interior view. The car is not locked or even closed, so I assume that nothing of value is stored (or attached) within.
	BN Caboose 12517. This car was kept in Grand Junction (may still be there for all I know) for locals use. Also built by International, but note the offset cupola– likely built in the mid-1960s. Top: on 11/11/2001. Note that the lower side windows are plated (common practice amongst US railroads from 1980 onward)l Bottom: Spotted near the depot on Jan 5th, 2006.
	Two wide-vision cabooses, or what’s left of them (BN 12227, ATSF 99799), at Gallup on 12/27/2017. Both built by International, and representing the two major pre-merger component railroads, literally all of their windows have been covered by this time. They still see some use on local movements in the area.
