If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Thanks for showing, did you stay there?

I was curious how an ICG caboose ended up in small town Montana, more than a 1,000 miles west of ICG territory. If you do a search for "ICG caboose 199002" you will get the story/video on the "smokstak" website, pretty interesting.
Thanks Ike ::handshake::, I tried to send you a reply post a week ago from Troy Montana (I was there again for the second time this summer to pick up my missing dog) and the computer in the library froze up and I had to leave w/o sending the post.

Here is another caboose near Troy.

I think this one is at the eastern entrance to the town of Troy MT. I passed by it over and over again helping a friend move but he was always in a hurry and never had time to stop and let me take a picture..... ::uc::
