Peter Hultgren	General	This is an interesting picture with the two train crew members on the platform of the caboose. What is the significance of the "PT 35" above each window on the back of the caboose? I am guessing that the time of year is either early spring or late fall with the lack of leaves on the trees and smoke rising from the caboose stack - perhaps to heat it up inside.	3/9/2018 4:46:32 PM
