Sorry about posting the Standard Gauge caboose drawing, I thought that the sections in thr lower right hand corner showing
the cupola construction might be helpful.
I believe that some of the link and pin couplers were still used for some time after the ban as,they were still legal for intrastate use,
Certainly several railroads here in California used them into the 1950s.
As for information on the cupola construction, perhaps the Colorado RR Museum kept a photographic record of their restoration/conversion of
caboose 0548 into caboose 49. I may have some that I took in Durango prior to its sale to Bob Shank, however those are in storage an with the
situation here I cant access them.
