RE: Tim Gilbert's Caboose Book --- I have a copy right here in hand, that
Tim presented to me several years ago.

The book was apparently published by the Salisbury Point Railroad
Historical Society.

There is contact information -- an individual -- so if anyone is
interested in getting a copy from the SPRHS, email me off-list
and I'll send you the name and phone number. The book was published
in 1999, so there isn't an email addy that I can find.

PS The full title of the book is:

??? 'Boston & Maine Cabooses'
'A History of Development & Use'
?????????? '1914-1955'


And yes, it is VERY thorough!!!!! ;o)
