The side bearing is defective as it is missing the roller and the strike plate is not relocated. That caboose will rock off in the first 5 miles the way it is now. The side bearing clearance must not be more than 1/2 inch on one side when the other is tight. The car must be put on a shop floor to measure it on level track. That sure was a torch job. Seem that they could have use a cutting blade and not flaw the metal of the frame. They do come under FRA even up there.
