ATSF Caboose 999321 -- TX 114 nr CR 1100, nr Reese Center TX - Train Cabooses on Waymarking.com

Two former ATSF cabooses on display at the Lubbock County Road 1100, near the FM 2378, along the TX 214 west of the former Reese AFB (now Reese Center), between Lubbock and Levelland TX. The cabooses are decorated by the local landowner for different holidays.

The most northerly caboose is the ex-ATSF 999321, a Class Ce-2 caboose built around 1929 and refurbished in 1969-1971.

I used the ATSF Railfan website on the caboose classes and dates: (visit link)

"The second group of cabooses rebuilt for pool service emerged from Santa Fe's San Bernardino, CA shops in 1969 and 1970. The 223 members of the Ce-2 class differed only slightly from the Ce-1's, and most of the differences were internal. These cars also emerged with black roofs, though by the time 999396 was photographed, it had been repainted with a red roof. Note the metal roofwalks, which replaced the original wooden ones, and the radio antenna platform on the cupola."

Thanks to caboose9 for a suggested edit :)
