WP 34 ft wood caboose

The WP had 108 wood cabooses of the type shown above as 729.  In addition to these in 1942-45 they rebuilt 48 single-sheathed 1916 boxcars from the 15000-16000 Series into either bay window or roof top cupola cabooses numbered into the  643-800 Series.  These were first painted WP red/brown with white lettering, but around 1952, they began a silver (Permite Aluminum #7025) and orange  Zephyr scheme with black lettering and a 2 ft square porcelain medallion with a red feather attached to the outside bracing.
