Thank you. Looking forward to it. Was told the Cockabooses are hard to get into though. :
We allow guests to pass through ours from time to time.
The problem we've all had, and this has been discussed ad nauseam at our Cockaboose Association meetings ... is that things were getting out of hand. People would beg their way in, then ask to use our restroom, or ask to hit our wet bar, or start chowing down on our food. Most visitors were polite but all too often some would return with friends and want another tour. Or we'd come back from inside the stadium and there would be strangers on our upper deck making themselves at home.
So most of us had to put an end to that, especially those of us right behind the stadium. Now we hire security to keep the riff raff out ... we just had to.
Ours is often used by the networks for video tours and to cut commercials ... we cut one, featuring me, for the SEC Network launch. They made me change hats to a generic Gamecock hat, and they asked me to remove all the liquor from sight, but they cut a lot of footage in ours and another one just down from ours ... generally considered the two best decorated on the railroad.
