No. 1076 repainted a second time. "It takes a beating from the weather
due to it's exposed location.
The cold, high winds and blowing snow combine to 'sand blast' it pretty good."

From Scott Banks, ARR Public Affairs: "Caboose 1076 went to the Whittier Coast
Guard Auxillary and it sits in Whittier now. It was donated at our last board
meeting. They'll use half and the Whittier Chamber will use half. Right
now they're trying to get paint to begin restoring it." (9/29/99) The Coast Guard
painted the caboose and now has it open to the public.
Curt Fortenberry adds, "Number 1076 was built by Pacific Car and Foundry
of Renton, WA, in 1949. In the mid-1970's, PC&F rebuilt many of the cabooses
to include new FRA approved glazing, removal of the running boards, and other
items."
Cabooses 1065-1084 were built by Pacific Car and Foundry Co. in March 1948
and placed in service April 1949.
