A friend of mine is trying to determine the manufacturer of the two caboose used at Pax River which were transferred ca. 1954 to the Indian Head Powder Factory. They were all steel and both were identical. The photo is from a magazine and not of very good quality. Any assistance appreciated.

The car has lines similar to equipment we've seen on this forum before:
looking for info on Dupont Hagley boxcar
It might have started out at one of the powder factories.

Thanks Brian

These two cars were of all steel construction and likely built in the 40's. The NAS Pax River was built during the war.
