This group of colorful Chessie System cabooses does not promote one of their safety campaigns but rather promotes their “Careful Car Handling” program which encouraged more gentle treatment of freight cars during switching and road operations. Baltimore & Ohio applied this scheme to some Phase 4 bay window cabooses while sister road Chesapeake & Ohio applied it to wide vision cabooses.
