SAR Caboose (Type 6, Side B) |
| Description: |
This caboose is painted in its original maroon and gray SAR livery. Cabooses are used as living quarters, usually for personnel on tasks away from home at places without suitable accommodation. Even though they are always painted in passenger car livery, they usually run as part of goods trains. Side B is the passage side and this model has a baggage car type door and two personnel doors on this side, with no vestibule. At the right end is a tool locker door, which is absent on some of these models. |
