Micro-Trains N Scale Bay Window Caboose - CSX Transportation (CSXT) - # 903868 - Blue & Yellow - Reprint (SKU 489-13000041)
Available On: November 1, 2020
This 31’ bay window caboose is grey with yellow ends and black lettering and runs on Bettendorf Swing Motion trucks. Built for Baltimore & Ohio as a C-27 class car, this caboose was eventually obtained by CSX through mergers. Even though most cabooses have been retired for decades, some still have limited use on specific areas of the CSX system. This caboose was still in service in 2014.
This bay window caboose is painted CSX blue with aluminum roof, yellow ends and black band along the bottom on the sides. The herald and lettering are blue. CSX Transportation was formed on July 1, 1986 on as a renaming of the Seaboard System Railroad and Chessie System, Inc. into one entity. In the public announcement, it was said that “CSX is singularly appropriate. C for Chessie, S for Seaboard, and X, the multiplication symbol, means that together we are so much more.” The T had to be added to use CSXT as a reporting mark since company initials that end in X typically are for rental railcars.
