Caboose SLSF 1400. Renumbered by that successor railroad 11630 Photographed at Pierce City, MO. Photograph dated 2009.
Neat photographs. I always enjoy interior caboose shots. It looks like old caboose SLSF 1163 might be one of the Springfield wooden caboose with steel cupola jobs and the "new SLSF 1163" might be one of the CMS cabooses rebuilt from the PS-1 boxcars.
BN 11630 was SLSF 1400, the "class" 1400 home built. I wonder if 1163 is SLSF 1400? Have to find a photograph to check details. Whoever repainted it could have simply left the final zero off to make it look like a SLSF number. Is not this fun! I am supposed to be doing taxes, but instead am sitting here "Friscoizing". Another mystery! Ken
