When this photo was taken, Illinois Central Gulf caboose 199480 was regularly assigned to the railroad's Shoreline Branch local between Bogalusa and Covington, Louisiana. Here it is in Covington, ready to head back to Bogalusa the next morning. The car was originally IC 9480, one of 50 cabs built by the railroad at Centralia in 1970, and was subsequently renumbered ICG 199480. |
