This bay
window caboose is painted white with multi-colored Southern Pacific
Railroad Police Shield and black lettering. It was built between
March and May 1980 by International Car Co. / PACCAR and runs
on Bettendorf Swing-Motion trucks. In an attempt to combat theft
on trains, Southern Pacific painted a number of C-50-9 Class cabooses
with Police badges and lettering. They were used on trains along
with an SP Police Car (auto) pacing the train to deter people
from boarding and stealing or damaging lading and railroad equipment.
Along with the regular train crew, SP Railroad Police or Special
Agents rode in the caboose to monitor the train. |
