I see no other use for it as there are no sidings or derailment switches nearby. Since cabooses were a common sight then, this would be the place to allow the workers to trade shifts for the operation of the bridge. (and that's my best guess from being on the rails all these years) Posted by rapcw 12/30/2006 1:09 PM | remove   Sounds as good as any other idea, though it would seem a little cramped to me. Posted by RailGuy88 1/2/2007 6:33 AM | remove   I'll have to find the pic of the shanty on the Cahill Yard in San Jose for you to see. Also very cramped, but it happened. I'll post in your thread.
