I can confirm that it is a CB&Q waycar at the Florence depot, I will try to track down the number. The Boys Scouts repainted the car (not in a CB&Q color) but they have it locked up due to safety concerns over the flooring. I will get with the currator to see if they have the number or if they will let me do some additional exploring to see if I can find it.

Subject: [CBQ] @ UP cabooses, Florence (Omaha), NE
Hi,
About 10 years ago there were 2 steel, cupola, UP cabooses (#? & #?) at the Florence Depot in north Omaha. Sometime prior to 2007 they were trucked to an unknown location, rumored to be in Texas, and replaced by a wood, cupola, CB&Q (#?) caboose.
Where did the UP cabooses go and what were their road numbers?
How about the road number of the Q crummy currently in Florence/Omaha?
Thanks, Roger
