That would be 999700, the only Santa Fe extended vision caboose painted in the proposed SPSF caboose scheme.

Weren't there four altogether that got the SPSF scheme?
I seem to recall that. I got this caboose in Iowa, so
Santa Fe by this time really lived up to the "pool"
caboose concept.

Standard cupola Ce-1 999088, Ce-2's 999524 and 999528, and extended vision Ce-8 999700 were the four Santa Fe cars that got SPSF paint. In addition, SP painted one bay-window hack, 4726.
