| Kansas City Southern caboose 301 was on the rear of a transfer run operating over the New Orleans Public Belt, on its way from the KCS’s WEST YARD to the NOPB’s COTTON WAREHOUSE YARD. The 301 was a one-of-a-kind car built by Thrall in August 1963, when the railroad was deciding who would build its next generation of cabooses. At the same time, Morrison built caboose 300 and Darby submitted stainless steel caboose 302. Darby went on to build cars 303-344 between 1965 and 1970; while the railroad’s very last cabs were the 400-406, built by International in 1976. (approximate date of photo) |
