On the WGN at Trego is this faux Milwaukee Road caboose. The Milwaukee Road had a handful of International extended vision cars which were built to BN specs in 1976 for coal train service, but compared to those cars, on this car the number is wrong, the air reservoir is in the wrong place and the end windows in the cupola are the wrong shape. I am 99% certain that this is a former Soo Line car, which is supported by the 9/66 build date and "SOO" lettering on the COT&S label. |
