<div dir="ltr">I would really hope that you don't think that I,m ignorant enough to believe what you say and show me. I put that picture up on my tv screen (58") and the number on that car is 518674 and it's as clear as day. It's hard to believe that a club or society like yours could lie like that and give out false information when it's so critical to have it right. I would hope that this was just an honest mistake and you will quit calling that picture NW caboose 518767. Maybe you need to work a little longer and harder at it!!!!!</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 3, 2025 at 6:05 PM Art Brust <<a href="mailto:apbrust@gmail.com">apbrust@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Not trying to be unpleasant Just trying to get it right. like i said I had never seen a picture of a blue 518767 cab. I have seen lots of pictures of it in red from 1975 and its faded. This means it had to be painted between 1970 and 74. There is no record of that in the maintenance log. All other cabooses with numbers really close to that 518675 show it in the records when they were painted red. So hopefully you can see my dilemma and why I wanted proof, I just wanted it to be right. Once again I THANK you for all your work and input you put into this matter and for all the work you do to maintain the records.

This caboose is very faded red now and I can't find any hint of blue under the paint or primer. All the info I can find seems to point to the fact that this caboose was always red. I think this caboose was always red but a couple people think it was blue. Thanks for all your help!!!!<div><br></div><div>Art Brust</div><div>Northwest Ohio Railroad Preservation</div></div>
