A hack of a different color

I thought I'd post something that may be of interest to the EJ&E fans among our audience. My wife Bevin was recently in Orland Park and came across the caboose and boxcar pictured below, painted up and on display near the train station, of which she obligingly snapped a photo.
Caboose fans may notice, however, that this is not really a Wabash caboose. It's actually EJ&E 523, a cousin to the museum's very own EJ&E 529 which sees regular use by the Track Department. It was painted by Orland Park in Wabash red and put on display within the past few years. Enjoy!
