Over the years the design of the bay windows evolved and Bluford Shops is presenting four phases of these designs plus the iconic half-bay window edition. All five will be represented in this announcement. Ladders and running boards will be included on appropriate paint schemes for each version.

Chicago & North Western received this group of phase 2 bay window cabooses from International Car in 1955. Even at this early date, C&NW was sold on the bay window concept and would never again order a new cupola style caboose (although some were picked up on the secondhand market and acquired through mergers.) All of the cars in this delivery had odd road numbers and the number series overlapped a group delivered to C&NW the previous year that all had even numbers. We are presenting this run in the original red paint.
