Caboose 1006(1511)
| February 16, 2015 11:21AM |
When removing the Siding from the platform on the 'B' end(away from the cupola) of the Caboose. This was discovered under the Arch. We gently wiped it down with water to reveal the color. The numbers are brown, and we believe the color to be the standard Union Pacific Yellow of the late 19th century. The number 1511 corresponds with the UPD&G number of 1890.
