Espee Survivor

Former Southern Pacific C50-9 type caboose No. 4747 is a regular on Union Pacific's LUE43 local, pictured in the heart of Salt Lake City, Utah on May 6, 2021. While its primary function is a perch for crew members to observe the track, crossings, and signals during reverse moves, the caboose still has functioning doors and windows. Check out the SP "frog eye" marker light and "flying saucer" radio antenna, still mounted to the roof.
