Tom Beckett General These transfer cabooses were known on some roads, and perhaps PC as well, as "an outhouse on a raft" for their small cabins sitting on a long frame. UP still has a few ex MP cars of this design kicking around in Oklahoma, used as shoving platforms. One is at the industrial park in Pryor on the ex MKT. Another interesting item is the car coupled to the caboose, an ex LIRR P 54 "ping pong." 10/23/2017 4:19:41 AM
