I can see the red edge of the open step in the lower right hand corner of the photo - which tells me the car has the open/slat steps that were retrofitted to the cars in the mid -1950s.
You have the eye of a hawk,. I missed that. Did any of the cabooses make it to the end of their carries without the new steps. Is there any timeline when these replacement steps were done. I have built a number of funaro cabooses and would like to put road numbers with the original steps that lasted the longest. Thanks, JOHN
Marty, Caboose 4030 seems to have the original steps, What say you. JOHN
