I'm modeling this one and only Chessie transfer caboose and these are the only three pictures I can find online. I'm having difficulty making out the LT WT (Light Weight or Empty Weight) number on the lower left.
One picture looks like it could be 43430 or 20 and the other picture maybe 42?20
I saw online that caboose could range from 50000-60000 but I figured since this was a transfer caboose, low 40's seemed appropriate.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Have Fun!

I just found a drawing of this caboose online showing the number as 42420. I'm not posting the link as there's a pretty good chance it'd get deleted.
Thank you Johnbeere. I saw the drawing but never thought to take close look at it, thinking I'd have to seek out an original photo. But that number supports what I think I see in my grainy pics.
Much Appreciated.

I've always been under the impression and I may be wrong but LT WT means empty or no load weight.
