Oh, wow! I loved View Master slides when I was a kid in the early 60's! Had tons of them! I had ones showing various cities throughout the world. Seem to recall cartoon orientated ones as well. But my fav's were of Disneyland as it was in the late 50's and early 60's. Those ones just....took me away!

Wait…I know what you’re thinking. This games a fraud.

Yesterday, I got stuck at a railroad crossing by a train. It's been years since this has happened. As I was waiting it occurred to me that a caboose at the end of a train is now long gone. A thing that we don't see anymore.

Caboose..........

Yep, I grew up two houses from the MKT freight tracks and saw many thousands of cabooses. No longer needed. That Santa Fe livery is similar to the old faded Katy red.

Caboose..........

They're still used in some special situations. On a long back-up move, there will be a train man(conductor?)on the rear area of the "Shoving Platform"-that's what they're called these days. He will have a small, shrill whistle for road crossings and be in contact with the engineer by radio. Usually, all the windows are covered/blanked.
ADDENDUM: note blanked 'windows'

And the 3D effect still looks pretty good!

Ask any wife, and she'll tell you that their hubbies are way up and outta their league!

My brother and I had this version...

We quickly swapped out the Cessna for an F-4 Phantom and other models we had at the time. More fun that way!

I found this story about obsolete objects on CNN: From the 'Clapper' to arsenic wallpaper, why objects go extinct

It's a story about a book regarding obsolete objects. Here is a link to the book: Extinct
