Illinois Central (IC) “Original Orange Split Rail 1970” replicates the as-built paint scheme as the cabooses rolled out of the Centralia Shops. 

The IC painted their cabooses in a beautiful orange and lettered them with the “Split Rail” logo and “Main Line Of Mid-America” slogan.  This group of cabooses features a Stanray roof, along with an accurate Keystone Center-of-Car cushioning underframe and matching brake components layout for the 1970 Centralia lot.  The little details are present – from the accurate smokejack and “can” radio antenna on the roof to the water filler covers and pipes on the underframe.  IC painted the bathroom window with a half orange patch for privacy, and we have carefully duplicated this neat little detail on the model. 

The fully-painted, green interior is illuminated with LED “warm” lights to replicate incandescent bulbs, as well as accurate, lighted IC box-style red-green markers on the ends.  Check out those beautiful Barber caboose trucks, complete with accurate Brenco-6 style roller bearings.
