The Old Red Caboose
The Old Red Caboose
Does anyone know the name of this railroad man? Was he from Hamlet? This picture was made inside of a caboose on 12-28-52.

That's a real interesting picture. Can of something made by Heinz on the shelf. Can't be Bill Dennis, but it sure looks like the vittles weren't lacking in the ole boose though!!

I'm gonna say that is Mr. Lee. My guess is based on looking at the white hat with the Seaboard logo and the name LEE embroidered on it.

Bruce, I'm betting that the Lee name you reference is for the company that manufactured the product, as in the manufacturer of Lee jeans for instance.

Wonder if that caboose is now parked outside of the football stadium in Columbia?

I bet Sigmore has drank more than a case of beer at the Red Caboose(Bar on HWY74 before you got to Revels
Re: The Old Red Caboose
Case heck, I spill that much!! I remember that bar though. Might have stepped over the threshold a time or two.
Re: The Old Red Caboose
So far there have been no solid clues. However, Garland Stutts, retired engineer from Hamlet thinks it may be John McCormick from the Lilesville/Wadesboro area.
Re: The Old Red Caboose
His name is John Fletcher Russell. He was the flagman on this trip when the picture was made.
