I would say the caboose is the lone piece of rolling stock that didn't run on the White Pass.
Good guess. The caboose was built by SVRy but the Army took it up to the White Pass during WWII where it was lettered USA 911. Its unclear if the White Pass ever owned the caboose after the war but it was sold off and became a cabin in Skagway for many years.
Years later it was brought back to the SVRR by the volunteers and we restored it to operation in 2006.
So good guess but this caboose is "authentic" WP&Y.
