“04982’s listing as a caboose was a long-running error. It really was an outfit boxcar the Santa Fe, New Mexico switching crew had used as a caboose. It later went to the Alamosa wreck train and is now on the C&TS.”

Does anyone know where Sloan got his info? Has anyone ever seen mention of this box/caboose in Santa Fe?
