The above documents pull together some of what we know. The first attachment from the 1916 Valuation shows details for the 5 cabooses then in service. The 2nd attachment shows the snow plow and provides us the detail that is was built on a gondola car, thus the stake pockets seen in the photos I have shared previously. The final 3 attachments are the results of the fine work of Mr. John Lewis, who researched the SVRy roster at the National Archives some years ago. They provide additional details you all may find interesting. Notice that caboose 3 which was where this thread started change significantly in dimensions and weight as a result of it's 1926 rebuild.
