Subject: [RRcaboose] Re: UP/MP 7518Cars 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.
