(click on thumbnail for larger photo-opens in new window)

 


MP 13889 was one of many (350) "shorty" bay window cabooses built by the MoPac in 1977 and 1978 in both their DeSoto and Sedalia Shops. These cars are often mistakenly referred to as transfer cabooses due to their short bodies and long platforms. But they were all true road cabooses and assigned as such when in service on the MP. This car is now part of the collection at the St. Louis Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, Missouri. Image was taken on July 22, 2000.
