"NE" is the Association of American Railroads' generic mechanical designation for any 8-wheel caboose. ("NM" is its designation for a 4-wheel 'bobber' with a cupola.) <br /> <br />Individual railroads could and often did establi***heir own classifications for types of cars. Sometimes these class designations followed the AAR letter classes, and often times they didn't. CB&Q, for example, designated its various caboose models under "NE", as in the NE-12 steel caboose with sloping cupola. UP used "CA-", PRR used "N-", and ATSF used "CE-".
