In
1968, Southern Pacific subsidiary Cotton Belt (officially
the St. Louis Southwestern Railway) received 20 cabooses from
International Car Company. These were the first SP cabooses
to use 50 ton trucks, starting the C-50 series of cabooses.
In 1970, 1972, and 1974 SP returned to International
Car for 181 cabooses, plus 16 for Cotton Belt in three groups.
For the next four years, SP did not acquire any new
cabooses. Instead, 207 older cabooses were rebuilt by the
Sacramento Shops. In 1978, SP, again, bought cabooses.
By then, International Car was a division of PACCAR (formerly
Pacific Car & Foundry). The 50 cars of the C-50-7
class were built at the same Kenton, Ohio plant as the previous
C-50 series cars. In design, they were similar to the
previous C-50 cars with only a few changes. Their paint
differed by having the roof painted the car body color and
the road name was moved to the right of the bay window, and
they featured an axle-end generator connection. They
were also the first new cars in the 4000 series. In 1979,
50 cars of the C-50-8 class were delivered, with some minor
detail differences when compared to the earlier C-50-7 cars.
In 1980, the C-50-9 class of 75 cars was delivered.
The C-50-9 class was unique in that they were delivered
without any windows in the car sides, in order to increase
crew safety and reduce repair costs. They were also
the last group of new cabooses delivered to SP.
SP car classification, such as C-50-7, indicate the type of
car (“C” for caboose), the capacity of the trucks
(50 tons), and the sequential order number (7).

Item Description |
|
|
Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
