Cabooses are on sidings, some disconnected, at Deerfield Beach and at
Fort Lauderdale. I have no idea whether these cars are actually from the
Florida East Coast.

Deerfield Beach - SCL 0896.

Ft. Lauderdale - SCL 0832 as HFS 007, for sale so could be gone.

Hi,

Anyone have the number for this one?

If this one is off live rails, what is it used for?

I list ACL/SCL 0623 at the Amtrak Depot, Palatka, FL.

Thanks, Roger

Athearn makes a ready-to-run FEC caboose, #801, in HO scale. It is a bay-window caboose and looks very sharp in the blue and yellow livery. Did, or does FEC, roster a caboose of this type and roster number? If so, what became of it?
