I was recently in Elkhart, IN; and noticed and old IHB caboose. Its an ex-Santa Fe caboose. What color is close to the prototype? It looks close to Jade Green NYC colors. I would like to model that caboose and just want to get an accurate color for it. I believe it's #57.

I also note that the middle pair of sashed windows, on either side, were never modernized. But, all others were blanked out including the cupola. Was this done by IHB?
