KCS Boxcar Caboose #376 - Kansas City Southern |
| Description: |
Very obvious is this caboose was rebuiilt from an exterior trussed boxcar. The KCS shops rebuilt several during the early 1940's since wartime restrictions were in place for ordering new ones. This lucky caboose survives as a static display in a park in Amsterdam, MO. It has been repainted in the original red color it wore when first built. The photo is from the Conniff collection. |

KCS Boxcar Caboose #362 - Kansas City Southern |
| Description: |
Originally starting out as an exteriro trussed boxcar, the KCS Shops rebuilt it in the 1940's into a bay window caboose. Sitting just to the right is another boxcar caboose, KCS 365 showing more wear on its white paint scheme than #362. The wartime restraints on car production made the KCS shops become creative! The photp is from the Conniff collection. |
