Spotted in San Bernardino’s B Yard was waycar (what the Santa Fe called cabooses) 999630. This car was built in August 1948 (original four-digit number unknown), and rebuilt into a CE-3 class car in the late 1960s, at which point it traded its brown color for an Indian Red paint job and six-digit number. Unlike the cabooses, er, waycars used on mainline trains, this car did not receive sealed window glazing, although it did acquire a cushion-underframe. The yellow cupola indicates that the car is used on locals. (San Bernardino, California – March 27, 1981)
