In my travels earlier in the week I found this local short line tourist attraction railroad.

Here are some photos of the facility (they are not currently open for the season; 2017 season begins April 1).

The 199002 has all the characteristics of a GM&O rebuilt caboose.  Generally, the Extended Vision Caboose didn't start appearing until the late 50's early 60's.

Here's a photo of a sister caboose:

An Ex-IC Extended Vision caboose is a slightly different animal, built with end "porches."
