It is my understanding that SLSF 200 was at one time assigned to express service. This is part of the reason for the Rockwell high speed trucks, which were unique to this caboose on the Frisco.
I have heard that this caboose was painted Pullman Green for a time. Does anyone know if that is the paint we see here?
Ok, so this likely is not in Pullman green paint. There is another picture of this caboose in color with that coonskin after it had been renumbered to 1200 here:

Paul –
I found an entry in the June-July 1991 “All Aboard” that notes how Caboose #202 was “briefly painted a Pullman Green for service in a Director’s Special train consist of Frisco Business Cars. Dates of repainting are currently unknown.”
It further has a black/white Jim Rucker photo of #202 in what it says is the Pullman Green livery, and notes that the original color slide does show it in its green scheme.
Best Regards,
