Very nice photo but it looks like a lot of motive power for just a caboose. 
Maybe the diesel is moving the steamer and caboose to the maintenance shop.
BTW, should this be in the Photo Gallery or Trains section instead of the Main Photography Discussion? I hesitate to mention this because Admin might move it, someone will see it after it is moved and post a comment saying something like "I found it in the xxx section". Or does this qualify as a Main Photography Discussion subject?

Looks like the steam locomotive & tender, and the caboose, are being moved somewhere by the diesel engine up front. If I could read the numbers on the locomotive and the caboose, I could tell you more about them.

That's why I asked where the photo was taken, since only five NKP "Berkshire" locomotives still exist, and not many of those are operational {so they would need a modern locomotive to shift it around}; I guess I should also ask when the photo was taken.Looks like the steam locomotive & tender, and the caboose, are being moved somewhere by the diesel engine up front.

Locomotives look like a 2-8-4. Is it? That pictures show a real part of America's History. I would have like to get pictures of that train. If I had that caboose, I would move in to it. Sell off the house. I remember the inside of a caboose like that, wood on the inside was unreal.

Main Photography section - basically what new stuff is available, what camera or kit to buy and anything to do with taking images
General chit - chat Interesting stuff that may or may not be about photography
Links and resources - Whatever you think is interesting or fun that includes a hot link as you are too lazy to cut - n - paste
The Attic - where lots of things get shifted just to annoy.

All that I see now-a-days are in public parks. This
one looks like it just came out of the paint shop. It's
dead set on remaining in service.

I'm not so convinced about "remaining in service".
Maybe so ... just maybe. What I see here is three
legacy items, steam loco, tender, and caboose, all
being hauled by a diesel ... maybe to a museum ?

Yes, NKP Berkshires were 2-8-4.

These days, freight trains are more likely to have an End-of-Train Device (ETD)
also called Flashing Rear-End Device (FRED) or Sense and Breaking Unit (SBU).
Not nearly as photogenic.
