ONTARIO NORTHLAND TRAIN #113 PUNCTUATES IT'S APPEARANCE THE USUAL WAY WITH A CABOOSE ON THE REAR - TEMAGAMI, ONTARIO - MAY 24, 1980
Bringing up the rear of the train is one of ONR's classy looking new cabooses. These looked like CP Angus Shop cabooses, so I had always thought they were somehow related or ex-CP vans. But in later years, I found out that the eight 120-127 series cabooses were actually home built by ONR's North Bay shops in 1979 and 1980, using body shells purchased from National Steel Car in Hamilton. No wonder they looked so nice and new!
