The final caboose added to the roster was this second-hand cupola caboose, originally Kansas Oklahoma & Gulf #1549, later Missouri Pacific #11241. It was acquired in June 1980, upgraded and put in service in May 1981. It was often assigned to the the Plover way freight in the early years, then assigned to the Green Bay - Kewaunee 'Boat Trains" starting around January 1990. Note the belt-driven generator one the right truck, used to generate electricity and charge the caboose's batteries. Go back to the Caboose History and Photo Roster |
