One of the Tidewater's World War II cabooses.  The series 303-305 cabooses are reported to have worn silver and orange for a time.  Only a handful of WP subsidiary cabs wore those colors, including at least one SN car.  They came to the railroad in 1943, rebuilt from WP boxcars by the Jeffery Shops in Sacramento specifically for the TS.  Retired in 1959 after the arrival of cabs 306-308, the final fate of the 303 is unknown.
