  ex-ic Caboose Roster  
 (ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH SIDE DOOR)   Last Update: 06/21/2020

"Starting in 1939, the Illinois Central Railroad built 350 steel offset cupola cabooses in their own shops. Most of these had a small side door located in the center of the body but, to meet state of Iowa requirements that banned "side door cabooses", 36 of the cars were built without that side door. These ICRR Iowa Division cabooses were numbered 9900-9917 and 9950-9967..."
