Built in 1928, this wood caboose with swing motion Bettendorf truck was later painted into a one-of-a-kind scheme to remind railroaders that safety is their responsibility. It was painted in Golden State colors of scarlet and aluminum. Southern Pacific was a Class 1 railroad from 1865 until 1996, when it was absorbed by Union Pacific after falling on hard times financially in the 1970s and 1980s.
