"It's in photo 10, but it's not a good photo of the caboose."Hi,Based on the partial photo of the caboose, I'd say MILW is the least likely and DM&IR is the most likely origin for this car.Roger

I would guess the caboose is a DMIR it dosn't look like most of the Soo's I've seen. Most Soo's only have one window on that side.

Unless it's ex-DSS&A, which kept their 500 series numbers after the 1961 merger into the Soo Line. Still, it doesn't quite look like a Soo caboose to me either, and I've measured and drawn a few of them. Wish we had a better photo.

I don't know if it'll help identify the caboose, but here is the other photo with the caboose in it.

And the photo originally referenced (for those who can't view the Epson page because of pop-up blockers):

Anyone know the identity of the Observation Car?
