[CBQ] Re: CB&Q - UP run through cabooses for C-GI service...

[james sandrin <jamessandrin@yahoo.com>]

Here is the  most complete listing of UP cabooses painted for CGI (actually, Clyde to North Platte) service I have seen.  The source is the UPHS book "Cabooses of the Union Pacific":

 

CA-5 25218, 25221, 25228

CA-7 25402, 25407, 25412, 25418, 25441 (this group had the 4' by 6' Safety slogan panels)

 

The painting started in late 1958/early 1959 and the yellow on the standard scheme was replaced by silver.  These cars all had red lettering.  The cars later painted silver for MOW service had black  lettering.  The last car to wear the special scheme was theone Hol posted, the 25402, which lasted until sometime in 1968.  Jim Sandrin
