Southern Railway’s final delivery of Phase 1 cabooses came not from their usual builder Gantt but from Fruit Growers Express who also built cabooses for Conrail, Chessie, Seaboard System and others. This batch was painted with a thinner profile version of the Brosnan-era block lettering – except for the road numbers which used the original heavier profile lettering. These cars will be available in 3 road numbers.
