According to www.jacksonvilleterminal.com "In the mid-60’s ACL’s Waycross shops began building their first steel cabooses using 0-25 boxcars. The class M-5’s were placed in service numbered 0600-0786. These cars had a slight offset cupola and were painted Orange with the “Thanks for Using Coast Line” slogan. M-5’s continued into SCL and on until the end of cabooses with CSX in the 80’s." This caboose has been preserved in as a static display in downtown, Florence, South Carolina. The slide is marked from the "Houser Collection". |
