The three below all have extended vision cupolas meaning the cuploas are wider than the body of the caboose. Two of them are very similar (BN and Rio Grande) but there are noticable differences. These two also have their windows plated over while the MP caboose does not.
Here is one from the Burlington Northern in Fort Worth, Texas in 1984.
Here is one from the Rio Grande in the same location as the BN caboose maybe on the same day.
Here is one from the Missouri Pacific in a different location in Fort Worth also in 1984.

I believe all the cabooses I saw as a child were red. Was that to make them more visible? And all the north south trains going through here have engines at both ends. Were the cabooses actually for the off duty engineers, etc., to sleep in?
