BLU-44010 – Steel Bay Window Caboose: Rock Island #17124

Description

Rock Island took delivery of this group of Phase 4 cars from International Car in 1967. The bay has been widened again with more steeply angled sides. Rock Island had begun painting caboose ends yellow for increased visibility. The silver railings and ladders also helped in that regard. These cars were stenciled for pool service and could often be found on connecting lines.
