Bluford Shops N 21081 Ready to Run Steel Transfer Caboose, Short Body, Illinois Terminal #804 (red, black)
Used for transfer runs across town, these cabooses can still be found in service as "shoving platforms," providing a safe place for the conductor to work during reverse movements. C&EI built six transfer cabooses beginning in 1966 using the frames from old gondolas as a base. Models come ready-to-run with magnetically operating knuckle style couplers, metal detail parts and appropriate trucks for the road name.
