This bay
window caboose is painted yellow with dark green roof with black,
red and white logo and American flag. The lettering is black.
It was built during the time period of 1965 to 1974 by International
Car Co., serviced in November 1981, and runs on Swing-Motion Caboose
Trucks. The bay window caboose afforded a better view of the side
of the train and eliminated the falling hazard of the cupola.
The bay window gained favor with many railroads also because it
eliminated the need for additional clearances in tunnels and overpasses.
