Where there are images available, links have been provided. If you have a photo of a captive WP
caboose that I can use, please let me know.
Cabeese that were once owned by WP but later operated by SN are shown in this table under their
SN number.
This list was compiled by Roger Kirkpatrick, the net's guru of surviving cabeese. Any additions
should be sent to me with a CC: to Roger.
