Using "Foreign" Cabooses

Under lease arrangements, etc., we see "Foreign" engines mixed with "Home" engines.

In the age of Cabooses, were "Foreign" Cabooses EVER used by a "Home" railroad ?

Not unusual to see foreign line cabooses. I remember seeing SP cabooses on the Rock Island's east-west main line across Iowa. Often saw UP cabooses on the CNW.
