Short Story #3: Is this a Caboose Show?

One day at the DVCRR Grovemont Yard there were 3 cabooses (Norfolk Southern Railway, New York Central & Clinchfield) in the 3 yard tracks. Workers Will and Marcus had some guessing to do on whether these were at the yard by chance or if it was a caboose show.

Will: Is this a caboose show or something?

Marcus: No, but i know what you mean. So many cabooses are here.

Will: I've never seen this many at once.

Marcus: I have an idea, how about we have a caboose show here at the yard.

Will: Cool Idea. All because i mentioned it.

Marcus: That and the idea entered my mind

Will: Alright, good deal.

Will and Marcus both wanted credit for the idea of a caboose show. But both were on the same track, just like all of us on the DVCRR.
