Re: [RRcaboose] Re: UP/MP 7518

This car does not show up in any Union Pacific records. It was a Dupo/Sedalia built road caboose, but I would not be able to give you the exact number. This caboose might still physically exist, even though it has been purged from official records.

[RRcaboose] Re: UP/MP 7518

 

Cars painted green are for maintenance of way service. I am retired, but I suspected that the UP started using some of the old road initials, as it allowed more car numbers to be used. If I remember correctly, this caboose series had different numbers before. I don't have all my files organized yet.
