The Caboose

Another dark and gloomy day in this part of Lassen County. Not a whole lot of pretty about it. The wind was decent , so it was a bit easier to go out and take a walk. (I hate bitter cold wind, especially when walking on snow lined streets!)
What a sissy la-la for a mountain girl huh?
Anyhoo I took my walk expecting to only go around Pinetown, but I found myself in Westwood and decided to take a picture of the" Caboose."

The Caboose has been sitting on the corner of Westwoods main drag (LOL!!!) Birch and Fourth St across the street from Young's Market for quite awhile. If I recall right it was a gift shop at one time. I absolutely LOVE trains, (espescially Cabbose's .I find it a little odd that I do not remember more about this caboose. But anyway, it sits on the corner there with a For rent sign in the window of the house looking part. Seems sad to me that it is sitting there empty, but a lot of Westwood is becoming empty. I often wonder what will become of this place in just 10 years let alone 20.

Just recently we had the only pharmacy close, which to me was an awful thing to happen. With as many senior citizens and then new mom's with babies, it's a true tragedy that in order to get medication you have to drive either 13 miles to Chester, Ca. or 21 miles to Susanville, Ca. I do not see Westwood having a promising future anymore. This is horribly sad to me.

And boy did I get off the track on this post. Soooo back on the track with my picture(s) of the day,
