"Shorty' MCR #101

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had a datasheet, or the lengths of this car of only two made. I wanted to kitbash one of the cabooses from a left over Caboose I had.

The McCloud River Railroad purchased two brand new “shorty” wide-vision cabooses from International in 1962 to replace the wooden cabooses in use.

I have the book, "Pine Across the Mountain," history of the McCloud River Railroad; I am pretty sure in one of the appendices that data you are looking for is there. Unfortunately, I'm about 8000 miles away from home right now, and can't get to it.
