The maintenance log doesn't say it was repainted and the other cabooses that i have looked at their  maintenance logs tell when they were painted. It was red in 1974 so were is the proof it was blue. I would need a good picture.On Tue, Jun 3, 2025 at 10:46 AM NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:Here is a picture of 518676 in blue:  Slide - RB03413Also see the late Bob Bowers history timeline for 518676: https://www.nwhs.org/data/caboose/view.php?ID=658Let us know where it is now and we can update the disposition.Joe ShawOn Tue, Jun 3, 2025 at 8:44 AM NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:When NW changed the colors of their cabooses from blue to red did they sandblast or strip the blue paint first? This caboose is very faded red now and I can't find any hint of blue under the paint or primer. All the info I can find seems to point to the fact that this caboose was always red. I think this caboose was always red but a couple people think it was blue. Thanks for all your help!!!!Art BrustNorthwest Ohio Railroad Preservation
