C-50-9 Cabooses:

 

	SP 4700-4774

These bay window cabooses were built by PACCAR in 1980. They were given the nickname "Urban Guerrillas" due to their total lack of side windows other than the bay window. This was of course due to the constant threat the caboose crews faced from trackside hooligans and thugs. Several cars of this class were assigned to SP Police service and one (SP 4726) was the only SP caboose painted in the aborted SPSF "kodachrome" scheme.

We are exceedingly lucky to have a high quality HO model of this class car offered by Athearn.
