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.

Although Milwaukee Road was known for building their own cabooses, by 1973, they had given up on the practice and ordered this group of phase 4 bay window cabooses from International Car. They were assigned to the Section 3 Class A assignment group “for mainline and transcontinental service, equipped with cushion underframe and radio.” In other words, Milwaukee’s most important trains.
