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>
