1970s photos wanted of the 1948 cabooses

[Charles Duckworth]

Looking for photos of the 1948 steel cupola cabooses in the mid to late 70’s with the roof walks still applied. Found an Overland caboose that I want to add to the modern Mopac roster. I don’t mind blanking out windows but I want to retain the roof walk.

Thanks!

Charlie,

What road numbers did these caboose carry in the 1970s? I would imagine I have photos of them.

I’m not in town. Let me look them up when I get home. Attached is an example of one of the cabooses.

Charlie,

Best I can do for caboose still with roofwalks in the 13335-13364 series. Photographed June 1972.

Charlie,

The caboose your talking about is one of these right? I would like to find pictures of both of these in vermilion red with roof walks and ladders with buzz saw emblem as well.

I am working on the same project with a Overland Partial Rivet caboose. Since it has an extra window anyway I thought I would modernize it without the roof walks. What are you using for window blanks? Plastic strip or brass?
Thanks,

Not promising anything about the quality of the photos, but let me know which of these you’d like.
