N&W Caboose 518021

[NW Mailing List]

My apologies, I was not clear in my comment, but I was referring to Jimmy's comment about the cupola end windows being of a different design. It was ONLY the end windows on the cupola, not the side of the cupola or the sides of the cab. Sorry for the confusion.

They originally had windows that could be opened, but I suspect that the amount of coal dust and soot coming in was hard on the crews. I recall seeing a drawing to change out windows on the CG class dated sometime in late 1964 or 1965.

Really curious to say the least... when I first noticed them in a photo I had to do a good bit of checking only to find that there were several that received this treatment.
