The Missouri Pacific caboose is a road caboose not a transfer caboose. The Mopac built them from 1977 to 1980 to modern standards and only included items that were required and omitted unnecessary things like beds. Mopac cabooses in the 13000-series were road caboose where transfer and yard caboose were in the 11000-series numbers.
