It was a clear day in March of 1943 when Jack Delano’s train was stopped in Vaughn, New Mexico. While there he spotted this eastbound freight train about to depart. Locomotive #5006 was a 2-10-4 “Texas” type beast built by Baldwin in 1938. She was retired in 1959.

The cabooses seen here are both equipped with the “wig-wag” targets that we’ve seen before in this post, along with their explanation. I think the targets show up much better in this photograph.
