Has anyone else noticed any pictures of a D&RGW long caboose with a wind/cinder screen between the two windows on the cupola? I have a picture of the 0574 in the early 40's which shows this. It is the same type screen you'll see on the cab of the locomotive. I thought it was interesting to see one on a caboose. Not sure if this was a custom job like the boarded up window in the 0503 or if it was more wide spread.
