During the week my old engineer retired friend stopped by and said he would show me another spot on the river by another old trestle that back in the 30's there had been a RR derailment and the caboose was stuck in the middle of that trestle. The RR pushed the caboose into the river and as far as he knew it was still there. I could not wait. I found an old dirt road to the trestle. After setting up safety lines I swam to the middle of the trestle and dove down. 45 feet of fairly clear water and there it was an old reddish orange caboose laying on its side. I'll work this location all summer. the back door of the caboose is open door gone.I went inside a little as I am going to seriously check it out tomorrow bring back anything I find, hopefully some bottles. I,ll post pictures tomorrow night. Been there all morning and getting ready to going back now. Camping there all night to get an early start. Post tomorrow night. Arthur
