Photo 3: ATSF Ce-10 caboose 999588 on the rear of a westbound east of Woodford, CA on May 14, 1989. Reportedly the ten Ce-10's were upgraded from Ce and Ce-5 class cars at the Topeka shops simultaneous with the Ce-9 class. The Ce-9's and Ce-10's reportedly only differed in the type of cushion underframe applied. Lost in a sea of look-alike Ce-1's and Ce-2's, the 9's and 10's lived out their lives in road service, with most lasting less than a dozen years between rebuilding and retirement.
