There's a bobber caboose at Cass Scenic Railroad that greatly resembles WK&S LNE caboose 512. I've seen no pictures of its bearings which is why I'd like to know if it's a LNE caboose or who it was built for.

One end is B&O with leaf springs and the other appears shop-made/repaired with coils.

A google search resulted in this site:

EDIT: I didn't look at the other side of the car but, according to that website, only one corner is shop-built.
