Southern Caboose Question...

Was Southern X251 really this body style (Atlas NE-6 caboose painted by Bluford Shops), or was it really a bay window caboose?

I gave a look to the Fallen Flags photo site, but they didn't have too many Southern cabooses. I don't know where else to look. Thanks for any info.


Hmm... it doesn't look
right to me...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

The NE-6 is a close stand-in. X251 was an ex S&A (Savannah & Atlanta) cupola steel cab and was shop built (X251 through X253). This type served its remaining years on the Interstate RR after Southern took over and after retiring the older IRR wood fleet hacks. All were off the system by 1986. Here's a pic of X251:

Hmm... The only thing

That would be nice if they could restore the caboose.


Hmm... Kiz could use
some hair restorer...

That looks like the MDC HO caboose.
