DGVR Caboose - Durbin & Greenbrier Valley RR
Title:  DGVR Caboose - Durbin & Greenbrier Valley RR
Description:  The smoking caboose was also toasty warm on the early morning run into the West Virginia woods and an excellent observation platform for the trip out on the end of the caboose too. We started in the open air yellow car, a touch cool to say the least but a happy group aboard made it acceptable.
