Not X-3 After All?


I had assumed the caboose parked in Tallulah Falls was X-3, as this caboose was the only one to have the unique offset cupola, as seen in a photo in Brian Boyd's Tallulah Falls Railroad: A Photographic Remembrance (pg 23) and as a sketch in Foxfire's Memories of a Mountain Shortline: The Story of the Tallulah Falls Railroad (pg 40).

But comparing the photo and sketch with some pics I took on the way to work today revealed that there is no way that is X-3! On X-3 the cupola was moved even farther to one end, and windows were in a different pattern.






















So what caboose is that in Tallulah Falls?
