NW Caboose Question(s)

Unread post by NSSD70ACe »

Hey all,

I have a friend in Ohio who is taking part in restoring a former NW caboose (518676) to its old navy and blue scheme and hopefully get it running. He is wondering when the caboose was repainted from Navy and Gold to Red and White and who would have done it?

Thanks!

I believe if you were to look at the data that is stenciled on the side of the car in the black square painted on the side of the car that it might say on the side of the caboose.. I have a number of photo's of that caboose sitting at East Wayne Yard in New Haven Indiana. I think it would look better in blue too !
