Rolling Stock

     The Galesburg & Great Eastern reportedly had "five steel hopper cars", a bay window caboose, a gravel spreader and a weed sprayer. Of these cars, only three photographs have appeared during research; all were caboose cars:

Caboose Number 1 was photographed at Victoria on March 24, 1939. It appears to be a former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy cab.

     Caboose Number 01 was photographed at Victoria in August, 1952. It also appears to have Burlington Railroad heritage, looking similar to the road's NE-1 type caboose.

     Another shot, from Joe Collias, was taken in December, 1954.

It should be noted that the colors of this car are not reliable, since the photograph was taken almost fifty years ago. The passage of time causes early color films to fade, with reds being the first color to go.
