In 1980, the C\u0026amp;O Raceland, Kentucky, shops repainted the 3019 with a fresh coat of yellow. While the work was being done, the caboose received Chessie-style fixed ‘box’ markers, replacing the small silver Pyle lanterns, as well as a new FRA-approved Star Model 845-F Incandescent Flashing end light. Check out the details of this 1980 Raceland paint job, including the silver smoke jack, silver area under the roof eaves, and distinctive C\u0026amp;O style ‘3’ in the 3019. Notice the slightly lower Chessie cat, since the ACI label is no longer present, and of course, correct COTS lettering per the prototype. Lighting features include prototypically dim interior lights, lit box markers, and red flashing end lights. The FRA flashing red end light is worth noting — it has the correct flash rate and decay of the real thing.

The B\u0026amp;O I-18 class was delivered in 1965 and 1966, with most cabooses serving through the B\u0026amp;O and Chessie eras.
