The T&P built 58 of these cars in its Marshall, Texas shops in 1928. These were the long muley cars and were numbered 2400-2435 and a second group was numbered 2436-2457. One of the cars, the 2425 was sold to the Pecos Valley Southern. Originally they ran on arch bar trucks but during later improvements they received Bettendorf trucks and side stiffeners that ran along the top and bottom of the windows. The cars were seen from far-west El Paso throughout Louisiana. This is the best detailed correct model side door caboose ever imported. From the ends with short platforms, ladders and brake wheels, long running boards to the side doors and side steps, this just is covered with neat texture and arrangements.
