It sure looks like that BAR caboose conversion from a WW2 troop sleeper is still riding on its Allied Full Cushion Trucks, which were banned form interchange service in the 1950's. Great catch.

See my thread below for more background on these weird, trucks that had a fairly short service life.

I've seen hundreds of caboose photos over the years.  First time seeing the B&ML units.  Thanks for posting.

Great pictures, and good pickup about the trucks!
