Show me something else painted safety yellow.

I had to scour my collection to find something that fit.

Here is a yellow Lionel Standard Gauge Caboose in what I believe qualifies as safety yellow. This was seen on the Rutland Junction Toy Train Museum in Alabama.

Show me another caboose that is not red.

The Turbotrain is bi-directional / double-ended. Please show another double-ended "thing".

I hope I am correct about this... I believe RDC cars were double ended and had control cabs for bi-directional operation.

This RDC is on the BNSF layout in the Chicago Museum Of Science And Industry.

Show me another piece of stainless steel or painted silver train equipment.

Some railroads called them signal towers. The New Haven they were numbered with an SS prefix for Signal Station. Mostly they were just "towers".
