Milwaukee experts, please help with caboose info | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I am trying to get started on a Milwaukee "passenger" caboose. I have found one photo by "googling" but I could use more info. I have searched under passenger caboose, branchline caboose and drovers caboose. Could Milwaukee have had another name for this style of caboose? Any help would be appreciated. Here is the photo I have found.

Thank you, Malcolm

Try: milwaukee railroad wood caboose photos

Historical societies are a great resource.

Malcolm you might try Rails Unlimited's Ted Schnepf. He's a retired Milwaukee Railroader that might have more info/pictures or he might know who is the best go-to person.
