Anyone know anything about the UP caboose in the photo below? It's supposedly on display somewhere in New Hampshire. It doesn't look like any UP caboose type that I've ever seen. It's quite strange with the offset bay window and the long rectangular box on the roof.

I don't know what it is, but I know what it ain't: That is not a UP caboose. The only bay-window cabooses UP had were the 100 it built in 1980-1981, and ones it inherited in mergers (RI, WP, MP, MKT, SP, CNW). and none of those looked like this one.

Furthermore, UP cabooses did not have any gray on them, and that isn't a caboose number series on UP.
