One of the few photographs that shows a caboose such as those built by Onderdonk in his Yale Shops. These cabooses were used to transport passengers in 1884 before coach cars were built to accommodate passenger traffic on the new railway. According to The Inland Sentinel, a couple of coach cars had been built at the Shops for use by March 13, 1884. On April 3, 1884, with the railroad completed to near Cisco where the iron cantilever bridge was under construction, the fares were published in The Inland Sentinel.
