This car originally belonged to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. The car later became the property of Union Pacific Railroad prior to being purchased and moved to the Kosciusko & Southwestern Railway. The car is of a style normally called a transfer caboose. The porch on one end has two bench seats. The interior has another bench seat that has been converted to a tool box. The heater was removed prior to Union Pacific selling the car.
