Now that I remember it, the Chicago Central used to use a ratty-old ex-IC center- cupola caboose on their Cedar Rapids-Manchester turn (not sure if that's the right name for that job). They'd run one train per day each way to/from the former IC's Iowa Division main at Manchester, Iowa. The caboose wasn't at all the prettiest thing you ever saw - heavily rusted and weather-beaten but enough IC orange left to make the IC fans happy. I'd see it on the end of the train after its arrival in the old IC yard in Cedar Rapids on my way into work from I-380 looking towards the power plant. After the Illinois Central re-acquired the CC&P I don't recall having seen it being used and now with CN in control (the Canadian National in Iowa - that's just plain sick) it's probably gone for good.
