Was it really a caboose or just a railcar that hadn't cleared the crossing?

While we're talking about what I assume was a LSRC train with a caboose.
LSRC 111 is a caboose parked at Lincoln Yard in Wixom as an office.
LSRC 112 is a shoving platform at Flint?
LSRC 114 is a shoving platform at Flint?

"The company didn't realize that it was blocking the roadway, they didn't park it far enough down the tracks to get it off the road, so they had to call the company to have someone move their caboose off the runway," Novi police Sgt. Mark Boody said.
Now that was funny to read

I’m sure the police spokesman said “right of way,” but the reporter was not familiar with road/railroad terminology and mentally substituted the more common “runway.”

Trying to figure out the lineage of these cabs. Any ideas on the original Chessie/CSX numbers for 112 and 114?
111 - BO 904044
112 - ??
114 - ??
