Western Railroad Discussion > SP Bay Window Caboose at Springfield, ORDate: 10/18/16 09:42 SP Bay Window Caboose at Springfield, OR Author: MarionLinn SP 4720, bay window caboose, has been sitting on a spur at Springfield, Oregon for some time. Does anyone know if the caboose is still in UP service?

It was still there as of a week ago. Todd Montgomery Springfield OR http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3316196,3316196#3316196 Edited 1 time(s).

It used to be coupled to the 4700 and when they would move the 4720 every few years to a different resting place the 4700 would go with it. Where did the 4700 go?
